Landscaping

The landscaping crew has been working like a mofo. When I arrived at the site this morning they were stripping the surface of the new driveway. It's going to have a slightly textured feel to prevent slipping. You might recall that the gaps will be filled with gravel.


Take a good look at this: the side of the house that no one will see. The fence will run along the house's side, just a couple of feet away.


In the backyard, a cement curb was built to prevent erosion and provide a base for the rear fence. Sections have been marked to show where the islands of decomposed gravel (far) and grass (near) will be located, separated and surrounded by gravel. A floating concrete step will be placed in front of each rear entrance.


They are digging up drainage. All water will be absorbed by a lined gravel pit with compost at the bottom so no runoff will hit the streets. More tomorrow...
