My parents project since they’ve arrived is to help turn the landscape planting plan into a reality. We’ve been cruising to nurseries and the internet to find the array of plants specified in the plan.Having tracked down about 100 plants then the challenge... It’s quite something to see the lanscapers turn our “cow pat” into the start of a garden. The front flower beds are now in with work in progress to the side of the house. The lawn area is looking good although there is one patch that will need a bit... There’s been a constant hum of machinery at work this week as the landscaping got underway. The beds have been dug and top soil spread after gypsum goes down to help break down the clay. The lawn and herb garden are also being done.With the resculpting going on... Our landscape designer is taking no chances – he’s carefully marked out the areas for landscaping and to avoid any doubt, he’s labelled some areas clearly!They are due to start this week laying the lawn and digging the flower beds. This will at least... You think we’d shifted enough soil already but no. More needed to make a lawn and also to finish the banking. All needs to be done before the sewage field can be laid. Let’s hope the high winds and dry spell continues.
