Re-Doing the Front Garden
In the summer of 2016 we bought a house outside of Austin, TX on 5.5 acres. I was ready for land, animals and NO HOA. We spent the first 6 months remodeling the inside of the house (check the pictures below). Now I’m ready to get started on the outside. I HATE the front of…
