Front yard trees (5/11)

There was a planter around the 2 trees in the front yard that was very dated and we decided to take out.

 Before

After

Mike removed the timbers and a lot of dirt.  The dirt around the trees was still a little high so we put in edging and wood chips.  We made a trip up to Gertens and picked out a rock.  This was a really fun experience.  There was a huge pile of rocks and we picked out the *perfect* one, then a backhoe plucked it out of the pile for us!  Of course it was in the middle of the pile too!  The rock ended up weighing 280 pounds!  We plan on having our address engraved on the front and possible "Stanton - Established 2010" on the back.
