Started clearing the garden to showcase the huge rock

2016 garden projects

August 22nd. 2016

              Since moving into this house decades ago I build a retaining wall in the backyard garden so as not to obstruct the catch basin at the North-West corner off the house. However, after years the retaining wall start to shift and so this year I started the project at the end of June to fixed all my garden's  neglect.

               So far I had replaced the pond in the garden with annuals as it is getting harder to maintain the pond as I aged. 

Partially completed rock garden and the pond

recovery stage,

Partially corrected retaining wall on the South West side off the 

house. The river rock corridor and the retaining wall

was erected to allow water passages from neighbor

water to flow into the catch basin unobstructed.

Views from North West corner of the house, only about five ft.

of retaining wall to finish.
