Hillside Plants and Mulch Part 1: Done

Well, I finally got the plants and mulch done in the backyard. 24 Cubic Yards of mulch is a lot of mulch, and I still need about 12 cubic yards to complete the job. The plants consist of 70 Parsoni (Parsons) Juniper and 18 Forsythia.

Now I need to work on the grass in the backyard, I need to get some stone to border the mulch and to build a step at the bottom of the staircase in the back. And i need to muck out the rest of the backyard and figure out what I am going to do with that, right now, I am thinking pinestraw. Also mixed in there is going to be figuring out how to handle all the leaves. Laugh, I think I am screwed.

impressive. That's a lot of work. When you think you're going to tackle the stone project?

just for orientation- is that wood retaining wall just to the left of the steps as you are facing the house?

can't tell much about he forsythia yet, but i can imagine the junipers coming in and looking great. long term they won't even need the mulch. They are kinda slow growing tho, right?

looking at that mulch makes my back hurt. You going to use all the stones from the front yard drainage hole in the back?

So if I turned 180 from where you took the photos I would see the rest of what you need to clean up?
