Finally Got Something Done

This is a before picture of the area targeted for renewal:

I wanted some definition and elevation here and this is what I came up with:

This picture shows the composition parts. The "wall" the hose is resting on are chunks of concrete from an old wall footer that was in the same location. In the next line is Agrape(?) border grass which were the individual clumps in the before photo. I cut each clump into four or five pieces with an old hand saw and lined them out. Next is a brick border, then the walk made with gravel screenings I took up from the patio in back. Then another brick border with screened soil fill on the outside taken from the newly created bed on the left.
The project took about 16 hours over two days start to finish. Becky was ecstatic.
One secret to such uniform results is the use of two screen sifters I have previously explained. I used the coarse screen for all the soil I turned and the medium screen for the gravel as I took it up. I found an old horse shoe and a red marble. I plan to fill this bed with leaves as they begin to fall. It will make for some good mulch.
I love doing this type of work and I can only imagine what I could do if I had some money to spend on materials. Let me say it again, I did not lay out a dime for this construction. Do you think it adds value?
