We planted FRUIT TREES in our suburban front yard | turning a lawn into a food forest

This week we planted fruit trees and berry bushes in our front yard! Since the priority was to get the plants in the ground, we planted straight through the lawn. In the coming weeks we'll be sheet mulching the future food forest area, and digging up more lawn to install a pollinator meadow garden. Fruit tree guilds are also in the works, but I have not yet assembled all the plants. The front yard landscaping is finally happening! By digging holes we also confirmed our suspicions that our property is pure clay. Technically it's classified as clay loam, but I'd argue that it's clay through and through. Not much loam happening. For that reason we added a fair bit of compost to the planting hole to break up the clay. So far we've had nothing but positive feedback from the neighbours. I have to admit though, that it was pretty weird digging holes through the lawn that we just spent a bunch of time smoothing out. I knew the lawn repair was temporary but I didn't think we'd be starting the food forest project so soon.
