Last summer, my wife, kids and I planned to makeover the landscaping in front of our home. That time, we only had plastic edging to surround our perennials. We wanted to grow these plants, but the edging would not allow us to raise beautiful perennials. It was the plastic edge that did it. It heaves out of the ground every spring, causing no plants to grow. For the past months, we have been employing a regular gardener who took care of the rest of our plants. He suggested that we may want to look into landscaping blocks as an alternative to plastic edging. And so we started planning.
One afternoon, we dropped by the nearest home improvement center and browsed through shelves of landscaping supplies. We found the blocks that we would need for the project and were surprised to know that the blocks came in several different colors. And so we hunted down coordinating stones that we planned to use as a garden path. Our plans certainly got bigger when we caught sight of all those landscaping supplies. They inspired us to take good care of the earth, of our plants and of our lawn.
It's amazing how small things can do great things. Our neighbor saw us with our landscape supplies. He offered to help with the project. And then another neighbor saw us working together and got intrigued. When he found out that we are on a landscape project, he decided to pitch in, as well. The three of us, plus my wife and kids, made the work so much easier and faster.
After getting all the supplies from the car and finally settling them into our lawn, we began working on the landscape design. I removed the old plastic edging and replaced it with landscaping blocks. Some of my neighbors had been busy installing the coordinating stones for our new garden path.
Now that we have landscaping blocks, we tried planting perennials yet again. Lo and behold! It blossomed. I cannot even begin to imagine how much improvement simple landscaping supplies can do for our garden. |
