I want my garden back

The painters are nearly finished.  I'll be so glad when they're gone.  They've tried to be considerate about the gardens but the damage has been done.

This is the lawn around the house.  Can you see how trammeled the grass is?  Can you imagine how compacted the soil must be?

They've stepped on these Mexican Feather Grass.

These lilies had a paint sprayer hose dragged across them.

And let's not mention the weed getting out of control, the spring annuals needing to be replaced and the daffodil foliage ready to be cut back.

It will all be worth it, though.  The old, faded, stained paint is gone and in it's place

Ta-da!
