A Few Projects to Check Off the List!

Stone walkway extension

First, the site was leveled. Then dirt was added to the perimeter to build up soil to contain the sand. 2" pipe was connected to a drain to carry overflow water from the rain barrel to the stone channel and rainwater garden. A 1" pipe was also laid as a conduit for the irrigation hose. Then sand was added for setting the stone. The stone was meticulously placed. The sand was settled with water spray. Sand was swept into the joints to lock the stone into place. A second water spray to settle the sand in the joints. Then a second sweeping of sand. Rock stepping stones were placed to ease movement down the steeper slope to the new primrose jasmine arbor.

New supports were needed closer to the path to raise the primrose jasmine and ease movement down the path to the backyard. A few posts lashed together and tied back to the fence posts did the trick!
