3 weeks, 2 tired DIY-ers and 1 beautiful transformed area. Over the past 3 weeks, we transformed the back side yard using 850 pounds of Tennessee Strip Rubble, 5 yards of organic planting soil, 1/2 yard of leveling sand, 84 square feet of Euro Cobble Stone Carmel Blend and a lot of lumber, into our own gardening paradise. To say that we are tired is an understatement! Will we see the fruits of our labor? Can we figure out this FL growing season? Only time will tell, but I know I am counting down the days until the first tomato sandwich!
The pictures below show the before and after shots:

And here’s how we did it:

We still have a few finishing touches that we will work on over the next few weeks. We’re planning a mural on the wall above, and a custom made monogramed gate. Our ‘Garden’ page will be live soon where you can stay up to date on our progress!


I love watching the progression.
