Its getting real this week. After months of planning and preparation, I started work on the front yard. The plan is to move all the pea gravel, remove the lawn, then use a combination of stepping stones, slate, rocks, plants and ground cover to transform our front yard from a 1800 square foot water waster into a drought tolerant, water efficient yard.
So I started this week by moving all the large rocks, slate and bird bath to the driveway, then started hauling pea gravel, wheelbarrow load by wheelbarrow load to the back corner of the yard. 
Its a slow process but I am making progress. Need to have all the pea gravel moved by thursday so we can come in and remove the sod on Friday. Good to see little Mali enjoying the lawn while she can. Next week she will be laying on a stepping stone because the grass will be GONE!
