Landscaping {During!}

Holy cow, you guys are in for a treat. If you drove by our house at all in the last year or so and then in July/August 2017, you got to see the transformation of our landscaping first hand. It went from downright dreadful to absolutely amazing so I'll be sharing the before, during and after photos you have GOT to see!

Now to get down to business! We decided to have Driftless Gardens do our landscaping and hardscape projects and they were great to work with. They are very methodical about their work and managed to get a lot done in a short amount of time. I highly recommend them! They started the job at the end of July, right around the time that RAGBRAI rolled through Decorah and of course when Nordic Fest took place. We lived with a mud pit for a week or two as they worked on another project but then picked back up again and had it completed a day or two later! Crazy to see all of the changes as they started to take shape. You can kind of see from the photos below that they first laid gravel and then a layer a sand before laying the bricks.  I was most excited about losing the handful of trees that had sprouted years ago and were starting to completely take over!
