We recently bought a home in a new neighborhood, and we have started from scratch. It's been a year and we are going very slowly but there is improvement.

Compare this last picture with the second picture in the first post. The snow is on a garden, mostly dormant because it's winter. The lawn is in.

Nice looking area! Love the woods behind all the houses.

Thanks, it is nice back there. It is supposed to be kept natural - it's an area owned by the neighborhood as a whole and the county requires that it be left alone, which is fine by me!
