The summer seems to be flying by - it's been a busy start to the
landscaping season, and we're still going strong, but don't worry,
there's still a lot of time left for landscaping before the winter snow
flies. :-)
Completed early July: An existing sidewalk with beautiful antique clay bricks gets an expansion with a patio, sitting wall, and raised planting/statue area.
Completed late June: A "newer" concrete product, the Belgard Arblel has a more irregularly-shaped paver, which gives a nice natural stone look to this sidewalk (without the higher price of limestone flagging!), and goes nicely with new limestone edging on some new plant beds.
Completed mid June: A plain cast concrete front stoop gets a make-over with some paver veneering and bullnose trim detail. The original rectangular sidewalk approach is replaced with a paver sidewalk with circle pattern and sitting wall.
Completed mid June: A rectangular concrete pad didn't have a good base to keep it intact over the winters, and it had cracked and heaved to the point it was pushing on the clients sliding patio door in the winter. We pulled in out, dug down to put in a good base, and put nice flowing curved line patio and planting beds in it's place.
Completed early June: A yard makeover puts a nice patio, sidewalk and steps in place of an old deck that was torn down, and worn grass path to the backyard. While we were building up for the patio, we also changed the grading in the backyard to push water around the back of the house instead of having it pool at the back of their garage.
Southwest Minneapolis - a worn path to the garage gets a makeover that flows into a new patio and sitting wall. In the front, a new stoop brings character and substance to what used to be an older wooden staircase.
Completed Mid-May: A new patio, planting bed and sitting wall adds living space to a Minneapolis backyard.
Completed early May: A new patio and planting beds finishes off the addition to this Edina home.
Completed end of April: A back yard gets cozier with a patio, sitting wall, fire pit, and grilling nook.
Completed mid April: The old tipping concrete retaining wall was removed and replaced with retaining wall and pillars, and the front stoop was removed and replaced with a paver stoop.
Wow it's been a long winter, and spring sure took its time getting here! But finally, the sun is shining, the ground has thawed, and we're back at our favorite summer pasttime: landscaping!
