I have spent the last few weeks in the yard doing lots of weeding and moving dirt. The dirt out here where I live is pretty bad and needs lots of added nutrients each year. I borrowed my parents truck and got 2 loads (4 yards) of compost from the land fill. It is very inexpensive and it's great stuff. Here is a picture of what the beds looked like before the compost was spread around...
And here are some shots afterward. I love the dimension it creates. The flowers really pop and it's much easier to keep the weeds under control. Now I have a few bags of nutrimulch and steer manure to chop in and I will be done buying dirt for another year. I never thought I would spend so much time and money on dirt! It sure makes a difference and the yard has never looked better!
The lawn definitely needs some attention now, but here is the flower bed out front. I LOVE spring!!!!
Your yard looks great! I really need to do something with mine, but i have no idea what i'm doing. Any tips on tne best kinds of flowers to get?
