March 28, 2012 - Painted walkway & started landscaping

Decided to paint the new entry walkway to coordinate with the existing tile at the front door.

We plan to add some stones along the sides of the walkway (same stones as on front of house).

Second day working on the landscaping.  14 cu. yds of garden soil delivered Tuesday morning and planted what plants we had today.  Have more plants to purchases and lots of mulching.  We seeded the lawn just area immediately around the house, just starting to see very small patches here and there.

Looking for a couple of ornamental evergreen trees to use on each corner of the house.
Agapanthus (Blue Lily of the Nile)

The empty corner space is for the pending fountain.  My Louisiana Iris plants still in pots until the fountain is down and secure.


Work in progress.  Need to fill in on the side of the guest bath/bedroom (shady area along side of house).
Veggie garden is producing.....yeah!  Our first Creole tomatoes.


March 19, 2012 - Patio pavers finished


312 pavers @ 33lbs each makes for muscle aches, but so happy they are all down.


Outdoor kitchen finally moved on to it's permanent site and
 hooked up to gas, water & electric.

Covered Pergola in the plans.
