Jay and his crew spent Friday afternoon working on some of the landscaping projects around the “L” Shaped House. The first photo shows the original driveway after they removed yet another layer of crushed limestone and have uncovered what everyone hopes is just one more shallow layer of rock. This shot also shows the music room end of the house with the fresh coat of paint on the siding.
The next photo shows the continuing efforts on the other side of the house where the new driveway is taking shape. Here the last load of crushed limestone is stockpiled in the center of the driveway as Jay and his crew work to set the final grade and prepare for the hard surface work to come.
The third photo shows the area in front of the garage where the cement apron will be poured. Jay has carefully set the height and compacted this area in anticipation of the arrival of our old friend Jim Sletten who will be pouring the apron shortly. The fourth photo shows the new paver patio outside the back breezeway deck where it meets the back wall of the house. Running the pavers up to the foundation wall provides a very nice finishing touch to this area. Both Deb and I like the combination of the pavers and the cloak grey paint on the siding.
The last photo is another effort to show the back yard landscaping “big picture”. This panoramic shot taken from the master bathroom window shows the back yard from the new paver patio on the right to the trail leading up and out of the back yard on the left. Most of the 28 trees planted last fall as well as the serpentine plastic edging defining the low-mow turf area are visible in the photo.
