Here's the plan with the colored sections what I've completed. Next steps will be the two sections directly in front of the house.

Two front sections done
Back in this post I talked about the 5-year plan. Over the past few weeks I've done two small sections, namely, the sides at the end of the driveway. Pictures to follow once the grass comes in a little more, but so far, it's coming in nicely. Both sections have a purple pixie loropetalum and 3 Emerald Gaiety Euonymus. Add in the (or is it subtract?) the two big trees I had taken out and the two arborvitae from the post below that I removed, and the yard already looks a whole lot better.
Here's the plan with the colored sections what I've completed. Next steps will be the two sections directly in front of the house.

Andrew - The plan looks great, did you draw this up or did you have someone do it for you? I'm curious about the rock perimeter for your beds closer to the house; what type of rock are you looking at here?
Had the plan made for us. As for perimeter, that's something I've been thinking about. Not sure what I want to do there. Any suggestions? Sol seemed to think there are some nice looking pre-fab stuff available at Home Depot...
I used 8" oklahoma field snap sandstone for my beds. It is really heavy duty natural stone. Each piece weighs between 30-100 lbs so it was some back breaking work to make the walls. Keep us informed with what you go with and where you get it from. I bought my stone from BrandCo in Raleigh, but it was expensive so I would like to find something similar for a couple of beds in the back yard that I will be making.
