Building a Wall

Steve and I have always thought our front yard needed some landscaping help. The first row was the most difficult because each stone has to be level.

The next row was a bit easier.

Luckily we only had to break one of the stones in half. Our neighbor gave us a great tip about putting a small stone underneath to make it easier to break.

We had to fill in with dirt after each level was complete. Lucky for us we saved the dirt we dug out to make room for the first row.

Almost there!

Finally the wall is built. We still need to finish filling it in and add some landscaping.
We got it filled in and added some flowers. We still need to add more flowers. Stay tuned to see the final product!
