After the area was cleaned up of unwanted of plants and debris, I raked itĪgain to remove any additional loose pebbles. Specifically, the roots of camellias and azaleas need to "breath" and must not be covered with too much dirt. You do not want to place dirt over the root ball of certain plants or they will die out. When moving dirt from one planter to another, be carefu l. I simply relocated the dirt into an existing planter in my yard. I also plan on placing small rocks in the bed so I I then removed excess dirt from the planter in order bring it down to grade level. They were taken to a neighbor's home where they were used as filler on a home addition project they were doing. I placed the plants in a trash bag to be taken to the local nursery for recycling into mulch and piled the concrete and rocks into the This was necessary to provide a nice fresh areaįor the new plants and garden accessories.
I began by digging up the existing plants and removing the broken concrete and rocks. Weeds, Broom - to sweep up the debris, Wheelbarrow - to move the debris and excess dirt. Hard dirt, 3 Pronged Rake - to separate the larger stones from the dirt, Shovel - to dig up the neglected garden plants and I used the following gardening tools during the project: Pick - to remove large items and to till the There was a lot of debris which had accumulated in the planting bed over the years and I wanted to clean the area to make room for the Walkway with brick ribbons leads to the area and out to the side gate. The area has block walls, and stucco on the house walls.Īs I mentioned, the space that I set out to transform was behind my addition and out of view of the rest of the backyard. Overhangs the concrete and brick walkway and provides shade there. The area was unsightly and was wasted space. There were Calla Lilies and a wild tomato plant which were pulled out and re-grew there as well. In the past, I have used this area to dump concrete rocks and excessĭirt.
There is an area of the yard which is neglected and out of sight. More secluded cozy area were I can relax in private. The area has a large grassy area in the middle and does not have much shade. There is no real theme, just many of the plant varieties I love. I have Black Pines, Camellias and Azaleas throughout my l arge backyard garden. Seven trees and numerous shrubs in my backyard. I set out to transform a neglected area of our backyard into a Japanese influenced garden retreat.
