Below is a photo of the finished wall, just waiting on final back-fill.

The work crew involved Chris and Tim Arnold plus Brian and Brandon Biltz. Here is a shot of Brandon on the Bobcat working on scraping and leveling the front yard.

Friday night, since Tim was staying at a cottage on the beach in trade for other work done on the island, he invited us over for a beach fire.

Saturday morning, we were back at it working all day with the plan of getting the seed down before dark.

Part of the new landscape wood wall was the backside of the dirt mound needed to cover the large drain pipe. Chris, Tim and me built a short 3-course stone wall to catch the dirt mound behind the cottage. Here is a series of photos...

Shortly after dark on Saturday night, we finished up the seeding just in time for a light rain. The timing couldn't be more perfect. There were minimal to no visible rain puddles = job well done. Here is a photo from Sunday morning of the finished product!

Since we had the heavy machines on site, we decided to push back the overgrown wooded area on the back edge of the property. So not only did we push back all the poison ivy and other junk foliage, we have like 15 more feet of yard to use.

Wishful thinking, the grass seed takes and comes in green and full...
