Advice from the Owner
I can't wait to see what this garden looks like in a couple of years. It's already a great improvement over this stubborn water-hungry section of lawn I battled to keep alive each year.
The lawn removal folks were super efficient and professional, the plants were healthy and bigger than I expected.
I chose to till the area before planting, that was a big job but made the planting much easier.
