The area in between my drive and my neighbors has looked terrible for a few years. It's in shade, and doesn't get enough water. With the freezing temperatures we had this winter, the grass that was in that area just didn't survive. So I decided it was time to take action, and do something about it.
I dug out all the old dead grass, and even took out the really bad clay soil. I brought in all new garden soil and added Texas cobblestone in the front. I then planted verigated liriope (monkeygrass) and begonias. I'm going to have to make sure it gets enough water to get it established, but I'm thinking these things will do much better in the shade and new soil.
A few of my neighbors have already come by to tell me how much better it looks. I love digging in the dirt!
