Our Weekend full of Landscaping

The weekend before last (April 18 and 19) Dave and I did something that was so rare, even our nextdoor neighbors commented on the occasion. We worked on our front yard. (Yes, you read that right) And yes, we know most people do that every weekend. We are not most people though. But we are not the people who have grass/weeds that are 4ft tall. Nor do we have broken automobile parts in our yard. But we usually just water the grass (using an automated sprinkler system) each morning and mow it on the weekends. Nothing fancy at all.
Well, this weekend was different.
We......
1.) Ripped out the stones and the plants that inhabited the flower bed under the living room window box.
Side Note: The stones will be sold to anyone that wants them in the Layton, UT area for a cheap price.
2.) We leveled out the ground in front flower bed. This required us to transport the excess dirt to the flower garden in the backyard.
2a.) We cleaned, raked, and pulled all of the weeds out of the backyard flower bed in preparation for the new soil coming in from the frontyard.
3.) We planted 5 shrubs in the flower bed under the window box.
4.) We dug up the stones that lined the flower bed along side the drive way.
4a.) We relocated those stones to flower bed under the living room windown box.
Side Note: This will make the new shrub filled flower bed match the flower bed under the cherry trees in the front yard.
5.) We (mostly Dave) dug up the three very prickly bushes in the flower bed along the drive way.
Side Note: Soon that flower bed will no longer exist. It is going to be covered in grass and added to the existing lawn.
6.) We raked and cleaned out the remaining flower beds. Total of 3 in the front yard.
7.) We raked and cleaned out the side yard next to the house. We have about 5 trees over there that have shed leaves and branches through out the entire winter. And now that the snow is all gone, we can get them picked up.

We still have to bury the stones under the window box and plant the grass next to the drive way. But still, there is alot of improvement in the yard. I was so pleased with all the hard work Dave did on the lawn. And the poor guy even broke two shovels in the process!
