More Progress

Cleaning It Out

Greg also cleaned up the area along the fence running from the garage to the back fence.  There was an old retaining wall about two feet from the fence, but it was only about two feet high, not really anchored into the ground, and it had begun to list badly.  We were concerned that it would eventually collapse and bring part of the neighbor's yard, and probably the old pine tree with it, into our yard.  So we asked Greg to extend the new retaining wall all the way back to the garage to help shore up that area.  I'm hoping that will make it a lot easier to keep the Trumpet Creeper in check--at least it will be easier to get to it.

Greg also added gravel and buried drainage pipes from the water holding tanks and from the clean out pipe on the back of the garage.  It improved the drainage system and makes the whole area much cleaner looking and easier to maintain.

Much Improved

We ordered the DG and the flagstone this week but won't get going on it until week after next.  It's all going to look great.
