I finally got to use my BX25 for something other than mowing and digging a few "training" holes.

I've been meaning to expand the landscaping in the front of the house. Not only is the section I want to work on a bit of a slope, I'm convinced there must be more rocks than dirt on my property....

Definitely learned a lot about the capabilities of this little tractor. I would not have even tried this project without the tractor!

Nice work. Do you have a before picture? How long did it really take? My "weekend" projects seem to take months. Okay, years sometimes.

Very nice and professional looking. If you get bored and want to do more landscaping, I have plenty (landscaping to do, not money) for you to get creative with. I'm sure my neighbors and HOASS would like to see a well landscaped property instead of the boring one that exists now. :laughing:

We didn't think to take pitcures until after I started. The closest thing to a "before" picture was taken before we had the stone wall built (see below).

It took me about three days of actual work, but I spread it out over four days. The "pucker factor" was way too high the first time I tried driving the tractor behind the stone wall, so I spent half a day just leveling the grade enough that I felt comfortable. You can see my little "road" in the third picture.

I know what you mean about taking years. More often than not, time or money (sometimes both!) get in the way.:laughing:
