Dirt Yard Along White House

Vertical daytime photograph of a large bare dirt yard beside a white country-style house during an early stage of landscaping. The left side of the image shows the side and rear portions of the white house with horizontal siding, white trim, several rectangular windows, and part of a covered porch with a reddish-brown brick base. A one-story white addition with a peaked roof extends toward the center background. Broad strips of black landscape or erosion-control fabric have been laid over the soil, beginning near the house and curving across the yard toward the addition and driveway area. Most of the ground is dry tan dirt with tire marks, small rocks, and only scattered patches of weeds. A neatly rounded green shrub appears cropped in the lower foreground. A blue trash or utility bin and miscellaneous equipment sit near the right side of the addition. Dense mature green trees line the back of the property beneath a cloudless, intense blue sky.
