Lawn!

We had soft-leaf buffalo lawn laid this week, in the wasteland that was our front yard (it didn’t fare well in the renovations). The curved edges have created three new garden beds where once there were none!

Before we can plant, we need to get rid of the grass, weeds and remnants of old concrete paths; ventilate the soil; and add a few cubic metres of topsoil. If you click through to see the above image on flickr, you will see some notes giving a vague idea of what’s going where.

This afternoon we installed this nifty edging around the new lawn. It’ll disappear once we add soil, mulch and plants on the right hand side there, but will make mowing (and keeping the grass where it’s supposed to be) much easier. (See the Linkedge site for details.)

We had lawn laid in the backyard too – photos to come.
