Landscaping Update

My dad has been a very busy man! He started with pulling out the bushes, then he moved on to planting.

He planted three coconut palms (all which he started from fallen coconuts, from coconuts palms that he had started from other fallen coconuts that fallen from coconut palms that he had started, and so on) and a few butterfly plants that my mom picked out in the south east corner of my front yard.

After he was done planting he moved on to making a pathway from the driveway to the front door. This turned into a much bigger project than he planned. It involved leveling and anti-weed liner and cementing in borders. It took him the better part of a Sunday, and about 3 evenings for it to meet his standards. All the stepping stones were reclaimed - I love the mix of the round with the square, and it had majorly cut down on the amount of sand that gets tracked into the house.

Here's a quick picture of the front of the house as it is now.

Once it gets cooler out we'll work on laying some sod and adding some more flowering plants.
