Double dig’n again chipping away at front lawn. Started last fall. I’ve made some mistakes, so much clay and worse – the plastic turf grid I have to separate. All dug out manually. Poor dogwood trunk was 8” under soil and mulch and I still haven’t found the root flare. In work.🍀 Zone 8b. PNW.

You didn’t make mistakes.
It’s dirt. It’s plants. It’ll be totally fine.
What you did was go through a journey where you learned a lot. Some lessons about how best to do things, some lessons about methods that don’t work well for you and your yard.
But none of that was a mistake. It was an adventurous exploration of your personal home habitat through which you gained new skills and knowledge.
You’re doing great.
It’ll look better and better every year.
Well done.

Back yard that was all lawn
I also stepped my fence correctly, in my eyes, and put 12” ground cedar planks at the bottom. Not that I minded this little one but, prep for Clydesdale Dog.,,

Good work! It takes time but it’s worth it.
