Bummer. We decided to remove the fugly double tiered flowerbed left behind by our prev owners and discovered that they used rocks as filler. So I made a sifting screen out of small chicken wire and we've been hand shoveling and sifting the rocks out.

It's taking ages, but we'll have a fairly rock free area when we're done.

Bonus: the rocks can go into our driveway. Cleaning up other ppl's bad choices is so much fun!

I suspect I'll be finding a lot of little things like that I need to do by hand. The owners before us only had it for a year, but they owned a landscape company and tried to do up their place as a showplace example of what they were capable of - lots of large rocks (enough that it's hard to mow the front yard), horrible spirea shrubs that I can't seem to kill to put in the rose bed I want, and just poorly proporotioned for the house and the neighbourhood.

It wasn't to my taste, and judging by the fact they got foreclosed on, it wasn't to many people's taste. On the plus side, we got a really good deal on the house. Ah, shadenfreude.
