When we moved into our house, there were a lot of things that were unfinished. The house was built in 2003 and we bought it at the end of 2014.
The house was built in 2003.
The garage was built in 2009 (I believe).
So because of that, our driveway is a little weird. They clearly put in trees and whatnot before thinking of a driveway.
So when Steve got his tractor, the random tree that was in the "circle" was ripped out.
See ya!

This tree was very much in the way.
While we were getting the middle of our driveway dug and re-stoned, Steve dealt with the fact that I'm about to slide off my side of the driveway. |
We need a retaining wall.

Digging out the side |
He did the above work back in the Fall of 2021. Then his back went out and winter came.
He's feeling better and the weather is finally starting to warm up. He and Ava got back to work on the wall.

We need to get a lot more stone delivered and then we need to backfill everything.
Ugh it just makes me cringe because we desperately need landscaping done but that shit is just so expensive. Even if we did it ourselves, the materials are crazy expensive.
I would rather save our money or take out a HELOC and have our friend who owns a landscaping company to have him and his team come out and do it the right way.
At least I won't be sliding off the side any time soon!
