We have had so many beautiful projects this May and June. It’s hard to decide which one to present in this blog.

Here is our selection with a few short descriptions.

A small Church Hill garden with a picket fence, bench, 2 window boxes, stepping stones and perennials! It gives the whole neighborhood a lift!

Perennials garden before and after took much thought .

The glorious deep white and purple of this clematis jackmanii and oak leaf hydrangea.

 Flowering shrubs of May- The snowball viburnum and Miss Kim lilac- pretty good buy for $36.00 each…

These steppers of limestone give the paver terrace a classy hit! You use cinderblock to support the tops step and just “plant them”  on the terrace.

We have done 3 driveways this season.  We rent a little bobcat, angle the grade for the sake of good drainage, then drop and drag and hand rake the gravel.

 Here is a brick stoop total repair.  We put in the bottom step and repaired all the mortar between the bricks.

 We made a little brick terrace for someone’s vegetable pots.  We also create our own shade while working.

 A vegetable garden where we made the planter boxes planted the vegetables then fenced in. The hungry rabbits are very disappointed.

This nice little fence hides a multitude of sins off Patterson.  The garbage can that lurks behind it becomes invisible.
