Progress over the years! First 2 are the upper in 2019 and 2020, 3rd 2023, and the last 2025

Staked down the garden tie edging and expanded my yard levelling experiment area. Got 5-6 different things going on in all that dirt or sand

Gazebo update: got the garden tie down! Still have to remove a stump and reset and relevel the stone but that’s probably a Future Me problem for now

The property used to be a culvert that went under a main street a block away, so it’s super uneven, bumpy, and rocky. I’ve got a few dirt/sand compounds I’m testing out to smooth it out a bit. Eventually want to plant clover everywhere, but it’s expensive and I want to get things smooth first

Turned this bumpy and shaded area into a gazebo pad with a gravel and peastone foundation. Initially did a bit of a hack job and edged it with 1x6 cedar boards. Am now getting around to replacing them with garden tie, as well as building a step (or a nice spot for a nap, thinks Oliver)
