Project: Front Lawn South Side

Gino started work on our little retaining wall on Sunday along the south front side of the house.

Looking west toward the street.

Look at that grass!! We get to mow it for the very first time this coming weekend (August 16th). It’s a great grass, feels better than carpet!

Getting that first few blocks level, square and straight takes a bit of tamping, pounding and frustration.

He ended up redoing the first few blocks after he had it going. Fewer cuts with the saw (we’ll rent) and more level. Looks great! Love it!

Last night I stepped outside to see how the wall was coming along and he’s moving fast now!

What the wall looks like from the sidewalk.

When you drive down the street, you almost miss it. It’s subtle now, but when the dirt, rock and plants are in it’ll be a nice area between our yard and the neighbors.
