Landscaping…Day 41

I stopped by the “L” Shaped House a little early today to walk the site with Jay as he prepares to leave us for another JLM assignment. He and his crew are going to spend the day concentrating on the finish grading, some additional plantings, mulching, and generally cleaning up the grounds. They will back in a couple of weeks to install edging and lay sod in the front yard but for now (at least) are finished working at our place.

The photo here (the only one I took…believe it or not!) shows the paver walkway leading to the front porch after Jay finished installing the last few pavers this morning. I really like the way it looks and feels. The rise to the step works nicely…the 4” step itself seems about right…and the white accent stripe running around the edges with the random field inside looks great. I think this pattern and edging contributes to a free flowing feel as you exit the driveway and “meander” toward the porch. It feels very casual while maintaining a simple elegance.

Nice work Jay!
