My truck was is the lead with a 15 foot Elm tree in the back, towing the dump trailer full of loam. Dad's truck was following me with all the small tools and weedmats etc in the box with the flatdeck trailer loaded with the power wheelbarrow, a pile of pallets, the mini excavator, the porta-john and various small bits of wood etc. Behind him was Hedi with the 1/2 ton that had the dumper loaded with Sod rolls, towing the van trailer. And behind her was Elton on his crotch rocket. We did pretty good, no one got left behind at lights or anything, which was fortunate as I was the only one who knew where we were going! hehe.
Ok, back to the project in New Discovery. or... Waterworld! lots and lots of water. I wonder what the long term implications are of this neighborhood, due to the fact that it is built on a swamp with water running out of the ground everywhere. On the bright side, it is BEAUTIFUL down there.
The project finished really nicely. Very neat and clean. We have to return in the spring to plant out the 100-130 perennials and shrubs, but other than that it looks great. The customer is happy, except for a tree that Elton planted in the wrong spot. Only about 2 feet wrong, but the customer will probably lose sleep all winter thinking about that... elton. In Eltons defence, the customer was out of town when he put it in the ground.
Before
After
Looks great.
BIG wall, natural pathway, brick stairs and walkways, grass.. very tasteful and functional. There is a phase 2 for this project, where we will be building a big deck and patio below the wall.
The front yard always has the potential to be less than stellar, as the customers usually put most of their resources into the backyard. Not here though. It looks great up front.
We really tried to tie in the design of the house. We think we did a good job of that.
Great job crew! Oh, and Allanblock is the sole supplier of pre-cast concrete products on this job, and it turned out fantastic!
