I sold a big job to a couple that purchased a house that has been sitting empty a while. Needless to say, the gardens were an overgrown wreck. I had a crew of 3 and we spent 3 1/2 days on this 1 1/2 acre property. We had to remove several small trees and shrubs that were planted too close together. There were untold quantities of weeds.
I got the impression that the former owner was a "plant collector" as there were: you name it, it was in that acreage! They had a special fondness for Dogwoods, Hardy Hibiscus and Ornamental Grasses... everywhere!!!
Behind the house there is a patio and a swimming pool. Pool guys are coming to empty it and close it for the season, the water was turning a weird shade of green... we spent hours going through the beds along the fence. At first, you could barely see the fence.

All in a day's work. Can you see why I'm tired?

Kay.....that was a great series!
No wonder you are a bit tired.--But, what a great contract to get, eh? Those folks must be VERY happy with your work.

Gosh you've certainly put lots of hard work into that garden Kay. It looks much better now that you've cleared all that unwanted planting away. The whole garden looks so much bigger and tidier. Well done.

You sure did work hard on that project. Looks much better now. I hope to get more done on our yard now that it's cool enough to work mornings and evenings out there.
