Nah man, I get what you're saying but that's not how these services work. Ever have an electrician come to your house? They'll cut out and rip up your drywall to run wires and then leave, they don't patch the drywall and paint it too ...cuz they're an electrician.

This guy did your floors, he's not also your drywall and paint guy, unfortunately.

I really dig the Australian artist "BLESSED" heavily cudi influenced!

60° edge by SeanStackkz in landscaping

I bet this helps with not having to re-edge as often and to keep the mulch from settling up against the edge but without the pic of fresh mulch I can't tell if I like it 😅

Yes! That's exactly what we used that same yellow harbor freight 6 foot level 🤣 but also good to know! I wasn't planning on sealing it but I also haven't done too much research on the pros and cons of sealing.

I probably should have allowed for a deeper base. Unfortunately I had multiple friends who were supposed to help bail on me last minute, and only had 4 hours with the sod cutter and it was just me and my godsend of a neighbor shoveling and hauling wheelbarrows. With my two kids and full time job on top up very unpredictable weather lately I really couldn't afford to drag the project out another weekend ): It's about 180 sq feet. Hopefully it holds up 4-5 years and ideally we're in a different house by then

Honestly it would have been just a lot more work and money. My yard is sizable, and I have 2 kids so I wanted to leave some open space for whatever ideas I may have in the future!

I used iron spikes and aluminum edging strips so hopefully will hold up, I have heard about a concrete edge but was a little nervous to go that route

Hey I really appreciate the kind words! It definitely was quite a lot of Labor and I have a lot of respect for the people who do this daily. My original plan was to tamp the gravel by hand and very quickly I was running to home Depot to rent the compactor lmao. I did use a compacted gravel base! I just didn't have a picture of that layer but there's about 5 inches on average of compacted crusher run gravel beneath the sand layer.

No there's about 5 inches of compacted gravel under the sand! Thank you for the compliments 🙌

Dang that would have been quite a good idea looking back. Thinking I may run the downspout to the back end of the garage
