While I don't have a full "after" shot yet, our front yard here in our downsized-back-to-the-city home is coming along nicely, with the grass again eliminated and tons of plants in, along with this freestanding deck that I built, so we can sit out in spring and summer and 'watch the world go by' as I like to say. On the other side of the front yard are our raised bed troughs, which I'll post separately. (And yes, we've painted all 3 of our houses blue !).
