Complete Front Makeover for the Kropff Family

on Sunday, May 1, 2011


We began this job on Tuesday April 26 by building a cross-tie retaining wall running perpendicular into the corner of the house. The wall is supported by 24" re-enforcement bar in approximatly 6-7 locations. The cross tie was stacked two high at a full 88" then followed by a 76" on top of that and a 64" on top of that giving it a step effect.
The project was rained out on Wednesday but we were able to resume on Thursday by cutting out the flower beds and working the ground. Friday evening was spent placing plants for approval by the homeowner and then laying ground cover, placing edger and planting shrubs.
Saturday morining began with four square yards of rock being unloaded into the two large beds, trimming and shaping two burning bush plants and cutting down and hauling off three big Bradford Pear trees.  The job was complete at around 1:30pm Saturday afternoon with a total of 16 hours tied up in the entire project.  This job could have been completed in two work days but because Barry and I both work full time jobs it took three afternoons and half of one day.  Give us a call and let us give you an estimate on your next landscaping project.
