All Done!

Well, we've wrapped up the patio and landscaping project - and it looks great!

Much thanks to Kim Denny and the team at Highland Green Nursery, who created all of the patio and landscaping!

5/21 - Lots of progress today..

They moved the shed into place, and planted lots!
The patio is now done, so I put my grill in its proper spot

Our new crab-apple in the back - you can see the other bush to the far left as well (don't remember the name)

SAND!



Out in the front - we're pretty close to set - at the right, we moved our Hydrangea to the front - and the barberries make for some interest.



5/20 Patio is all built - now we just need the sand filler!






5/19
Look very carefully between the bushes: our newest friend has moved in!
The bricks are all great now, the stairs are faced, and the walls are started!

5/18 It's getting there! There are always a few problems - This brick was installed upside down (smooth side up) - there are 2 actually.. I wrote in blue chalk to let them know to flip it over..

We expect some irregularities in the textured stone - but this is a hole in the patio - hope they replace these soon!

Moved some of our existing plants today to the front yard - hoping that theres more to come yet.





5/15 - Brick laying!


Can you find the 1 smooth brick?


5/14 - Moved the redbud out front!

Poured concrete steps

delivered bricks!

A big storm last night blew apart my shed! Thank goodness it just snaps together.
