Here is the project we have been working on the past few days...the driveway bank and gutter. We extended the gutter to promote better water disposal. The gutter is lined with cumaru wood. Rocky is re-laying the stone to build a mini retaining wall. It looks GORGEOUS!! This bank is covered in myrtle, also known as "periwinkle." In the spring, this bank will be covered in pretty little periwinkle flowers. I left some burning bush and lilacs up on the bank, but tore out baby maples. There are two large maples at the top in the back yard. With the bank clear, it is easier to see who is coming around the curve of the driveway. I will continue to post project updates and pictures. :)
The surveyors were there again today. They were nice enough to let me observe how they record the property lines. The technology is amazing!!! It literally draws it as they go. This afternoon, Rocky and I worked on clearing additional lines so that they can get a clear shot. That backhoe sure does a lot of work! Here are a few pictures of the trail clearing process in the woods.
The brush is SO thick!
Wow...so much work, and it's looking so great! Thanks for the updates!! Can't wait to see the periwinkle bloom in spring :).
