This amazing Do-it-yourself project started in August 2011. The existing turf was removed and replaced
with dymondia, other drought tolerant
plants and an attractive mulch of bark.
The gravel path was installed using stabilized granite and
peach pea gravel, resulting in a pleasing, easy to navigate, surface.
All work done by homeowner with the exception of the most
laborious aspects of turf removal. Thank
goodness for gardeners! There is no sprinkler
system in use. Currently watered by hand. The garden was a very satisfying project that took a couple
of months to complete.The ongoing maintenance is fairly simple. Occasional weeding and the addition of new plantings when the situation
calls for it.
