Tearing Out the Park Strip

We live on a corner lot, so there is a lot of park strip at our house. We got tired of mowing and watering this part of the yard, so last fall we tore out all the grass.

This spring we planted 8 Lollipop Crabapple trees and filled the area in with nine tons rose quartz. It was exhausting work....

...but I am quite happy with the result!
