New Raised Bed in Front Yard - Fall 2014

The Problem:
As you can see by the first photo (taken in 2008), the sidewalk in the front of the house would flood every time it rained.

My Solution:
Create a raised flowerbed with stepping stones to replace the soggy sidewalk.

It took me a few years for this project to reach the top of my to-do list, but in Fall 2014 I decided it was time.

The photos in this gallery document the transformation.

I attempted to do the entire job myself, but it was really a two-person job, and Jordan Smith gets HUGE kudos for stepping in to help me complete it before winter came to Georgia.

I *cannot* wait for Spring -- it should be stunning!

The Problem	The beginning	the beginning (I covered the sidewalk with mulch, but it still flooded)	the beginning
The result	from the front	85ft long (they call that "project creep")	from the driveway
path from driveway to front porch	Empty pots - they used to hold daylilies	more empty pots	view from the street
