We are creating a meadow lawn at the “L” Shaped House. Matt Wolfe (JLM) has developed a detailed plan for the meadow which will occupy the bottom half of the front yard. The plan includes a variety of grasses and plantings as well as some boulders for sitting. The city of Minnetonka encourages the creation of meadows and publishes a series of guidelines that include procedures, plant types, and a requirement for signage.
The image below shows the details of Matt Wolfe’s plan for the meadow lawn on top of the master plan for landscaping at the “L” Shaped House (click on the image to make it big). Included on the plan document are all of the plant types and the placement of boulders.
The next photo shows the meadow lawn area in the front yard. The city guidelines require that we kill off the existing lawn before creating the meadow. We carefully sprayed the area with herbicide two weeks ago and have effectively killed off everything growing there. Matt’s crew is scheduled to start working on the meadow in two weeks.
In the mean time Matt and I have been shopping for boulders at Gerten’s and Hedberg Landscaping. The four photos below show five of the boulders we’ve purchased so far…
