Front Yard 18-Nov-09
This is day three of construction. The retaining walls and two steps have been completed. The interlock is in the process of being laid. In this shot, you can see how a low retaining wall was constructed in a curve around the caragana standard, incorporating the small tree into the design and making it a focal point. The soil level around it will be raised slightly. This is not only an aesthic part of the design, but functional as well. In the winter, snow can be pushed into the garden through between the two sections of retaining wall.
