Gardening this spring

Here are some pictures of what I've been up to this spring. Hana will join me in about two weeks after she finishes up her junior year of high school.

Below I've set up a rock garden in a bed that was full of rocks! We didn't have to purchase any rocks for this garden! You'll also see gardens being set up, mulch going on, edging going in, baby asparagus coming up, annuals transplanted and gardening maintenance. Enjoy!

What a busy start!

I apologize for not including amazing up to date pictures from Two Sisters Garden and Landscaping. It has been a busy start and there's been little time to focus on pictures and blogs. I've been working by myself - Hana will be starting after June 14th! - and getting a lot done. I've been doing spring clean up, garden maintenance, landscaping (such as cutting out sod around trees and mulching) and putting in new gardens and creating designs! We just put in our first garden of the season in Sugar Hill last week and it is beautiful! I will put finished pictures up next week! Look forward to more pictures soon and keep in touch if you need any gardening or landscaping done at your home!

Winter Services - Home Improvement

This January I was hired to clean out an attic and take out the old fiber-glass insulation to be replaced with foam. I filled a 30-foot dumpster in less than 35 hours! What a mess! Below is a picture of me with not even half of the insulation.

Here is the refurbished attic complete with foam and new floor. My Uncle put in the floor.
My father, Wayne, made some built-ins for the same clients that needed me to clear out that attic. Pop likes to work with wood in construction and carpentry (so building anything from additions to custom kitchens and bathrooms) and doesn't like to paint. Luckily, I was ready to work and eager to learn - so he showed me how to do it (apparently he was a painter before he was a contractor!). I did the finish sanding, priming, and painting for a few built-ins, cabinets, and a the television room in this home.


This client also needed some new storage shelves protected with a polycrylic finish. It went quite fast with a small roller and now the shelves are protected from water and heavy use in the garage.
I am currently doing interior painting for a new client. I am painting walls and woodwork of the master bedroom, spare bedroom, bathroom, and radiators in her dining room.
I get to see Sandy over at Littleton Aubuchon Hardware a few times a week to pick up paint and supplies - what a wealth of knowledge on paint, tools, and techniques! I recommend anyone interested in home improvement concerning paint to head over there and see the paint-master!

What's Up?

I visited some gardens this past week to see what was up! I pruned a observed. What will be divided this year, what needs to be cleared out and cut down? I will be available in April to tend to your gardening needs. Thanks for visiting our blog!
