We have been in the process of tearing out the old planter in the front of our house for a couple of weeks now. Nothing would grow in it and it was full of bugs. We were able to knock most the the brick out with a sledge hammer, only to find a concrete slab on the bottom. Matt rented a jack hammer this weekend and pulled it all up. Now we just need to figure out what kind of plants to plant!!!'
BTW - Matt said the jackhammer rental was the best $50 he has ever spent.

Looks GREAT! Does Matt do everything in a Polo shirt?
ReplyDeleteIf you get good morning sun and afternoon shade, my horticultural reccommendation is azaleas. Ours have performed very well so far and they're a pretty low-maintenance plant with a big payoff in the bloom department. I think 3 or 4 good 3-gallon plants would suffice for the space you have. I would border the bed with liriope and put some perennials down front, if you have the room.
