This customer had a fair sized garden in their side yard that they were interested in removing and re-seeding. It was a tougher job than it would've seemed. It was well established, with lots of Ivy and some deep-rooted perennials.
I opted to leave the backhoe at home and tackle this job by hand, which was probably not the right move , but did keep costs down - which was a priority for the customer. I was able to use a come-along and some chains to get this woody shrub out and into the trailer. It has been replanted at Yard Farms HQ, along with some other smaller (more manageable) perennials that the customers no longer wanted.
We cleaned up a ton of debris, and ripped out as much Ivy as we possibly could. We matched the grades of the existing lawn with the topsoil we had available and seeded the area heavily before it rained. We shaped a much smaller bed along the side of the house, and called it a day.
Overall a budget-friendly way to get a new look in this side yard!
