Mini Backyard Remodel

I'm in the process of a mini backyard remodel.  I had ripped some bushes out, and so had some bare patches in my sod, so I got those filled in.  And then my mow strip had disappeared over the past 50 years, so I added that back in and re-mulched.

Well, I say I did this work, but I mean the company I hired (Point Loma Landscape:  http://www.pointlomalandscape.com/).

I think it turned out so pretty!

New mow strip

You can see in this picture above my dry/patchy grass (see previous post for description).  Point Loma Landscape just put down new sod in areas where things were completely bare (dirt).  I didn't ask them to address the patchy grass.  I figured I'd work on that on my own (see previous post:  http://veggiegardengirl.blogspot.com/2013/06/worm-castings.html)

New sod at lower right, and along righthand retaining wall, plus new mow strip and mulch
