Despite visiting the “L” Shaped House many times over the weekend I never took any photos of the work completed by the landscape crew on Friday. Jay and his crew spent most of Friday working on the asphalt patches at the end of the new paver driveway and the abandoned cut out where the old driveway used to be. The first photo shows Luther and the crew as they work to re-assemble the pavers after re-working the end of the driveway. Jay decided to tear out the last 10’ of pavers, re-work the crushed limestone base, and re-set the pavers before installing the asphalt patch at the street. He re-configured the end of the driveway by raising the area beyond the white accent “stripe” about 1.5 inches and tapering only the border at the very end to the street. The second photo shows the details of the asphalt patch at the edge of the street.
The next photo shows the end of the driveway from a the middle of Cottage Lane. Here we can see the subtle difference in pitch near the end of the driveway after Jay and his crew finished re-working and patching. Brett Nutting and all the JLM folks spend a lot of time explaining how paver driveways are the only “repairable” surface in the business. This re-configuration of our driveway at the street provides pretty compelling evidence that they’re right.
The last photo shows both the asphalt patch at the site of the old driveway and the state of things at the “L” Shaped House this morning. After beautiful weather all Labor Day weekend it rained all night last night and turned the phase 2 planting bed back into a sloppy wet mess!
Oh…how I hope we get some dry weather soon…
