Well, we are in the final steps of the house project and over the past week, Bever Landscaping (http://www.beverlandscaping.com/) and designer David Sonka have been working to complete the landscaping out at the house. The weather was great and as a result they were able to complete before the storms on Friday afternoon. The rains on Friday evening was a good test of the drainage system, permeable pavers and the infiltration areas and we are happy to report that everything functioned as planned. We also have 2 rainbarrels that are full for watering the new plants - it's so cool.
Here are pictures of the finished landscaping on Sunday morning, June 29th:
This is patio area off the screen porch with a mulch walkway to the firepit.
This is looking up from the infiltration gardens towards the porch outside the master bedroom - it reminds us of a Japenese garden.
The area behind the garage will be our vegetable garden - inside the rock borders as seen in the pictures below:
WE ARE HAPPY!
We have gradually started moving things back into the house following the past 2 weeks of working on polishing the concrete floors. The floor looks 95% improved and there is still some work required on the trim and in the corners along with a massive clean-up that is planned for tomorrow. So, we are almost completed with the project and we can take the rest of the summer to enjoy and relax.
