Well, whoever has been following me these past few months know that I was put in charge of landscaping for the new building we are moving into at work. I've been working out there about 8 hours a week since March... first it was clear cutting a bunch of trees, shrubs, etc. Then I had to move a bunch of landscaping rocks that I didn't like their placement. Dug a pond, and finally planted a ton of stuff ... topped off with 20 yards of mulch.
Tonight I placed 3000 lbs of flagstone around the pond and topped it off with some pond mix. It's finally done in my eyes.
First, let's start with a Google map street view showing a "before" shot.
After shot.
Now for some pictures of the pond and of the 3 large needle palms I planted. You can also see the nice large trachy I planted on the island. I am going to wait until July to post a big update to let things fill in a little more.

Nice...you may want to stake the Ensete though...not very sturdy in open areas.

Tim, you (and your company) should win a community Beautification Award.
Truly beautiful.

so is it also your job to dig and box everything each winter too? They're in trouble if you leave for another job!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
