Landscaping at Amy and Kurt's

When we were in Washington, Amy and Kurt had a new driveway and front sidewalk put in.  It's beautiful but the contractor did kinda mess up their yard.  This is the area where they took out the old sidewalk.  Because it was under the trees, grass  had not done all that well.  Hopefully the new seed will do much better.


 This is the area that we spent close to three days working on.  There was rock mixed with dirt that was at least 20" deep or so it seemed.  Peter dug out the rock, then we screened it to get the dirt and rocks separated,  washed the rock and filled in other areas in the back yard.
 You can see who did the hard work!!

 The rock in memory of Ken, Kurt's dad.
 Almost finished.  Because this area is complete shade, we had to pick plants that require no sun - most of these came from Peter's "nursery".  Just had to purchase a couple coral bells and one hosta.
 Kurt and Amy finished the job with the mulch.  Am anxious to see the finished product.
Still have the other side of the front deck to do but that might have to wait til next Spring.  I know Amy has a couple of work days coming up the end of September so will wait  to see what she puts on her list.  We'll have a some extra workers because Amy's taking a couple days off and Holly will be with us for a long weekend.

Have a GREAT weekend and enjoy the cool weather - I know I will.

Love to all,
Gramma and MOM
