Backyard work - Week 3

The majority of week 3 was doing the landscaping (plants, irrigation, lights, etc).


Here are the plants after being delivered.


Here are all the succulents.


We had 2 more control valves added so we could control the garden planter independently from the trees and plants. The one pipe going to the right is actually the water supply for the BBQ island sink.


Here's how the irrigation lines feed into the two different planter beds.


This is the french drain for the sink.


Here are all the plants in the front prior to planting. We had them place them and then we fined tuned the placement before getting planted. Even with that, we had to have them move a few after being planted in the ground.


Makes planting in hard rock much easier.


Here's the after picture for the front. Notice the river rock bed which is actually functional since the gutter downspout feeds into it.


Here are the copper scuppers for the pool water feature.


The BBQ island being framed out of metal.


Cement board then covers the metal frame.


The side path is being finished in cement pavers.


Here's our new water line tile.


Here's a picture of the back with all the plants planted.


Here's the front side. We had them add a little river rock bed to cover the drain from the gutters.
