I was all gung ho to do a hedge row, but I actually started work on street side improvements. I have every area of the yard categorized with ideas and maybe some plans for improvements. I am currently calling the strip of yard in front between the sidewalk and the street: Street Side Improvements. Here's a before picture:
There is an excess of soil in here and, as you can see, The rain run off backs up and stands on the walk. We decided to put a ground cover in here. Becky bought a flat of Jasmine for it. I've been thinking about what to do here for a long time and now we have come to the time of decision. So I have been re-thinking and studying how to do this in a way that is of the highest possible quality.
You can barely see the water meter cover this side of the Dogwood tree. I have known that it is below grade and that when it rains the water pours in and fills it up. There is so much silt inside that the cap of the meter is just visible. So it really needs to be raised and reset. That is going to be a bit arduous, but for this to be a done good jobby, I have to do it.
