St. Paul / River Road Project

This is a yard that is a long term project. We roto-tilled the back yard early this summer and planted the hedge last fall. We built the stone wall with about 10,000 pounds of flagstone. We are filling the outside, the garden section with black dirt compost mix and the inside is going to be filled in with top soil and seeded with grass seed. Weez is going to do some flower planting on the outside of the wall and then we will fill that in with 1 -1-1/2" river rock.
This is one of the front garden sections that we planted last fall, 2008. It needs to be filled in with 2 yards of top soil and then it will be topped with 1 - 1-1/2" river rock.

One of two loads of Flagstone for the wall in the back yard. Everything, flagstone, dirt and river rock has to be wheelbarrowed into the back yard.
The start of the wall.
We also sub-contracted and had 5 trees removed from the back yard.
Heading toward the house.
Circling the new Maple tree we planted 3 weeks ago.
The stone is 2 -4" thick 8" wide and 8 - 20" long. The wall is 2 layers high.
