Landscaping 2008-09
(click on picture to see a larger version)
With the major construction done, attention turned to cleaning up the mess outside and beginning to landscape. This included:
The garage -
built for cars of the 20's, needed to be rebuilt while maintaining the footprint close to the property line.
The driveway -
an ugly stretch of asphault patched over the years had to be replaced.
We chose to replace it with a classical style of two concrete tracks with grass in the median.
The herb garden -
built on a slope from the escarpment, the house had had a steep slope at the back. We chose to use boulders from the pantry excavation to build a three level rock garden which we planted with herbs and some flowers.
The back lawn and vegetable gardens -
once repaired and reseeded, we built vegetable patches in the back lawn
Now onto winter 2009-10
