Spring Project

As part of our back patio landscaping project (going on 2+ years now), we needed dirt to back fill behind the retaining wall Dave built last summer. It was delivered today, and Dave, Justin, and one of Dave's high schoolers got it all spread out in the correct places in 2 1/2 hours this morning. It looks great! We planted the apple tree we bought yesterday at the local nursery as a finishing touch.


Before: empty spaces behind the retaining wall needed filling in and leveling with soil
The picture doesn't show the sharp slope down behind the wall, but it really needed filling in.

Dirt delivery!

One step closer to a complete project! We're still waiting on help with the final cement pouring to finish the extended patio. It's looking great!
