Worked on this job in between rain storms this week and completed it today. A rotten, crumbling Crosstie wall had to be demolished and replaced. Liriope was transplanted from the existing bed to create a new bed where Magnolia roots seem to hamper the growth of any grass. Finally, Pansies were installed in a bed created around the mailbox.

Briarlake-Backyard Hardscape
A fun project here-I love working with stone. This is a 2 phase job that started with the construction of a dry stack capstone wall approx. 65' x 18". Only the cap run was mortared, as we wanted both the look of the dry stack and the permeability for drainage. A problem grass area was then converted to a river gravel "patio" that meets up with a dry creek bed I installed last year. Planting on the bank above the wall will take place in the next couple of weeks (you can see all the ivy/weeds have been sprayed and removed), along with some repair stone work to the old stone walkway and steps.
Brookhaven-North Druid Hills
Got an early start on this job-Homeowner needs beds defined and pine straw put out in advance of some overseeding being done by their lawn care company. The remainder of the job, which includes cross tie replacement, transplanting some ground cover, and flower installation should take place next week.
