Side Yard Garden Bed Reset

February 2019 – November 2020 · 6 photos · yard and landscape

The garden beds along the brick walkway had grown into a tangle and the stone edging was buried under decades of mulch and weeds. I cleared the whole strip out, re-set the fieldstones along the path, and got the bed prepped for new plantings. Nothing fancy — just bringing it back so the side of the house didn't look abandoned.
