A garden emerges…

Well, the driveway can’t really be called a driveway anymore – it’s definitely a garden since we planted in some trees (vine maples and a Shore pine), some silal, huckleberry, Oregon grape and raspberry bushes, and a few heathers.

And then I ripped down the side gate to open up the space, and built beds around the side and back of the house as well (we’ve put some daffs and tulips in here). Finally, we sowed some grass seed and bulked up the gravel drive. And that is pretty much it until spring we think, when it should be time to plant veggies…

I want to plant grass and flowers in the place where my 55' driveway now stands. I like the way yours is coming together. I don't think people remove driveways in this area too much. Some of the quotes for demo and removal-$12,000-23,455.94(?!?)-just seem strange.
