The privet is gone. As in outta here, no more, history. What should I post first? The “before” which you’re all familiar with, or the “after?” Oh heck...before...

Here’s a process shot, I wanted to take more but didn’t want to make the guys who were working so hard self-conscious. They did an amazing job and for an equally amazing price.

So this is pretty life-changing, you know...from a garden perspective. I had measured the space, and I knew how big it was...theoretically. But that bare soil patch is MUCH bigger than I expected. And the sky, we see a lot more sky now.

Here's a peek into our neighbors back yard. I'd love to keep the borrowed view of their palm, but once the fence goes up I think it'll be gone. See that concrete block wall between their upper and lower yards? That's exactly what ours looked like before we replaced it. Wait, scratch that. Theirs is in better condition than ours was and I think we had even more lawn than they do.

This is a crazy new view, looking back at the shade pavilion, in "greenhouse" mode. Our patio looks so small.

Also new (the view), I'm hoping that loquat will take off now that it has more sun, space and probably even more water. Although it's also now exposed to our current frigid temperatures and wind, not great timing (the work was all done Monday, just before the much colder temperatures and strong wind hit).

The new fence will go up right about inline with that lovely stripe on the back of that garage. I hate this view just as much as I thought I would.

Although I have to say from this angle my overall feeling is that the garden looks so much cleaner! Yes...this was a good move...
