Plants and A Lawn

Now that we have hydroseed, it has to be watered twice a day. I actually have a watering outfit. It's not pretty.

Shade plants that came with the house. Not sure they're going to make it.

Driveway pattern

We have a patio and the beginning of a driveway!

I think this is my favorite room in the house.

They did this in one day.

Cutting the bluestone. Tons of dust.

How pretty is that pattern?

Finito!

They stayed til 7PM to start the driveway.

Patio!

Patio should be finished tomorrow!

It's like another room!

Steps down to the yard. Feels Tuscan.

Patio Progress

Steve painting downpouts while working. Such talent.

Masons working their asses off creating the patio.

We need a wall since the yard has such a steep slope. It's pretty.

Laying the stone foundation for the driveway

Stone for our driveway. I think our neighbors are sick of us. Again..

Hopefully this week will bring the new driveway and patio. Hopefully.

Excavation of the Yard

An exciting day as I ran from window to window taking photos of all the work being done in the yard. First, they scrape up all the ugly overgrowth, dead roots and vines, and save occasional perennials. Next: Ugly ass driveway goes! Excavate for back yard patio! This is fun.

So far, we're loving these guys.

Lots of digging

Look at that gorgeous dirt

What a difference! The yard looks enormous.

Front yard at the end of the day. Saved plants by the wall

Can't wait for tomorrow!
