As I have been nesting inside, Michael has been making the outside of our home beautiful. We are only renting but we felt all the changes would benefit us in the long run. We have been dealing with a HUGE bug problem: crickets, SPIDERS, and general bugs. This problem is due to the landscaping around our house. It has been overgrown and out of control and we've finally decided to take into our own hands, or really Michael's hands.
This is our lawn before:
Right next to the house.
Looking towards the backyard
And NOW.....
Michael Killed/dug up all the ivy and mulched it
We even found a brick wall that was covered in ivy, Why would you want to cover this
The wall lined an entire walk way that was so overgrown with trees, debree, and etc that we never used it let alone see it. Michael said the bugs were disgusting and in full force in this area.
And he even found time to wash and clean off the side of the house.
The bottles on the concreate are bug spray that we have put everywhere. I hope it works
Well -I just wanted to brag on my husband and his landscaping abilities... can't wait to see what he does with the front of the house... but we'll keep you posted.
