Landscaping…Day 23

Jay and his crew spent the day planting the trees, bushes, shrubs, and perennials delivered by Gertens nursery yesterday. The first photo shows the boulder field above the basement patio with most of the juniper bushes planted and the ground cover pots laid out ready to be planted. It is amazing how different this area looks with even just a little greenery in place.

The next photo shows the area in front the power pole with the new plantings running inside the plastic edging. The entire area inside the edging will be covered with mulch and allowed to fill in with plant growth. The area to the left hand side of the edging will be planted in low-mow turf.

 

The third photo shows the planting area opposite the music room along the property line on the West side of the lot. Here the landscaping crew is adding a black dirt and compost mixture to the soils before installing the plantings. A second load of plants from Gertens arrived today and is lined up just in front of the edging waiting to be distributed around the site.

The last photo shows the two very nice Pagoda Dogwood trees Matt plans to plant on each side of the stairs leading to the front porch.
