Before and After

Pacific Shores RV Resort Newport Oregon

As promised, here are the before and after shots of our corner lot here at PSRV!  We picked this site as the view was just what I was looking for and the corner lot afforded some privacy and landscaping options an interior lot wouldn't allow.

As you look at the before shots, the previous owners left a large opening in the hedge at the rear of the lot.  We wanted to screen that in a little more so the hedge will form a natural fence line.   The rear part of the lot was rocked with round pavers for access to the rear of the coach.  The bricked patio area was small and splattered with paint.  We had the bricks moved to the rear, removing the round pavers and rocks.  This will make it easier to sweep and provides a level surface for ladders.  It also gives us a little longer pad for that 42 footer I'm dreaming of.

You can see why it was best to stay out of the way

AFTER!

OK so the project that was only going to take a few days ended up at 5 weeks.  Weather was an issue a couple of days and the holidays delayed things also.  I've been adding small flowers so it is almost complete.  I'll be continuously adding little plants, flowers and herb garden.  I'm waiting for the Hydrangeas for the big pots.  Spring and Summer items are slowly coming in to the local Walmart and Fred Meyers.  We have a stone table on reserve so as soon as it comes in the picnic table will be moved to the doggie park.

Well that's the small project.  The lot needed a little TLC as the previous owners stopped coming a while ago and kept the lot rented out.  We plan on enjoying it off and on the next year before we set off on the road again.  We are having too much exploring this area, more of that to follow!
