Our House Before:

After: Whew the hard work is all done . We worked many weekends and finally got the front yard back. For years we have talked about getting rid of the bark and adding grass. Our kids and the neighbors kids spread the bark everywhere. There always was a bark mess all over the sidewalk. So we took advantage and redid the whole front lawn in sod. Looking back at the pictures I think it looks better than it used to. The tree was really hiding our house more than I ever realized.
