Making Room For A New Cactus Garden

  We are in the process of finishing off the front of our house. It has been a long process as we are doing it by ourselves and we have other projects on the go as well, so it is being done in bits and pieces. One main project that has been on the back burner for a while now is cutting down the two trees an bushes at the side of our driveway, they are messy and ugly looking and it is a decent piece of garden that they are on, so we decided to take the bull by the horns and cut the trees down to make room for a new cactus garden. 7th February 2026, we started cutting them down. We continued the following weekend. We finally got them cut to ground level, now for the clearing up part! 7th March, Scott added panels of wood to the fence. And painted it white the following weekend.
