Peachtree Bluff in Duluth-

This project includes quite a bit of 6" drain pipe, some 4" pipe, catch basins, extension of a dry creek bed, stone work and new sod. I started last Friday (rain shortened)..resumed on Monday and should finish over the weekend. It's a bit crowded-the basement is being remodeled at the same time I do my work-but it's been a good group to work around. This is a nicely landscaped yard, so I am making extra efforts to disturb as little as possible as I install the drainage system.

Appalachian Home Furnishings in Jasper...Maintenance & Pine Straw

Shot up to Jasper last Sunday to do their quarterly maintenance and re-mulch all the beds. I pruned all the Crape Myrtles during my last visit a few weeks ago..and I'm pleased with how they are filling out.

Duluth-Peachtree Bluff..Phase 1 Completed

Lots of photos-lot of things going on at this job. 3 tons of medium river slicks (stones) were used to create a dry creek bed that begins in the neighbor's yard..goes under a fence..crosses the back corner of the property then underneath another fence until it reaches the drainage area beyond. 2 catch basins were installed at the back corners of the house to catch water coming from the front yard & drive..6' corrugated drain lines were then run from the catch basins (140' total) underneath the fence to the drainage area. Finally-soil was added underneath the deck and along the back of the house which involved taking up the existing plants then replanting..and some little stone wells were built to keep the soil off the deck supports.

Duluth-Peachtree Bluff

Started this job last Friday with Chris helping me dig the trenches for the 6" drain lines I am installing. The guys from Atlanta Landscape Materials showed up bright and early this morning with the 6" pipe, soil mix that will be used for correcting some grade issues in some beds, and 3 tons of river slick stones for use in some drainage areas and a dry creek bed. Had a pretty good day..got catch basins and a lot of the pipe in..created a nice well around one catch basin and covered it with jute mat, then stone.
