Jay and his crew came back today to put the finishing touches on the landscaping all around the “L” Shaped house. They worked on a whole bunch of little things like adding leaf guards to the gutters as well as working to solve a few persistent problems. The first photo shows one of Jay’s guys digging out the “saddle” in the back yard as they prepare to install a river bed of rocks to aid in draining the water that collects in this area.
The next photo shows the new river bed installed in the “saddle” from just beyond the back of the mulch bed. The third photo shows the river bed along the front porch after Jay and his crew added a bunch more river rock at the near end in an effort to slow down the water coming off the standing seam roof.
The panoramic photo below shows the back yard from the window on the landing in the front stairway. In it we can see the sprouting low-mow and the new river bed just to the right of the power pole. The landscaping master plan is coming together nicely in the back yard.
The next photo shows the back end of the garage from the top of our trail leading to the bike path. Here we can see the low-mow turf starting to sprout under the maple tree and the 6’ mulch border. The city approved removing the silt fence this morning and Jay’s guys took it down just before they left for the day. The whole back yard is starting to feel really nice.
The last two photos show the driveway out front with the my newest boulder placed along the the East side. I found this nice weathered limestone specimen at Hedberg’s Plymouth yard a couple of weeks ago while looking for boulders and just had to have it. It’s been strategically placed to “encourage” driveway compliance just like “Ann” a little further down…
