There is an area in the front yard where several trees produce enough shade that bermuda grass won&#8217;t grow. Whenever I mow the weeds and undesirable grass that does grow there, it is always a dust storm. Finally we have gotten this project underway. We have created a stone border around the shaded area (Thanks for the help, Bobby!), placed several limestone boulders about (Thanks TJ!), and planted several dozen decorative plants (Thanks Tristan, Junior, Leigh, and Dave&#8217;s tractor!). Finally we covered the whole thing in with red mulch to match the landscaping in front of the house (Thanks Erick!).
