Lawn is gone

The lawn is gone. The trench in the middle is going to be a moss rock retaining wall. It’s supposed to be 108 F (42 C) today. So this lawn can’t be replaced soon enough. The carpet roses behind don’t seem to mind the heat and dryness.

That sounds very interesting, surely you will not be putting the lawn back?

[Susan Wakely]

Interesting to see a work in progress.

[Jacqueline]

Can’t wait to see it finished

[Beryl Lloyd]

Quick work in getting rid of the lawn - looking forward to the next stage

@ludwigsdiana definitely not. I mean that by the time this heat wave ends the lawn will look like the goats came through…just brown stubble.

[Corinne C]

That will be wonderful

[Carole Sandford]

Will be nice to see the finished thing. We had 41.3°C the other week & it was horrible - we aren’t used to these extreme temperatures. Stay cool!

[Mags]

Will look forward to seeing the finished work.

The wall will look good there. I'm surprised the tree and the roses have not suffered from the heat and dry.

[Esther Rosenberg]

that is hard work! Looking forward to see the end results.

@randystreat The carpet roses are very drought tolerant. The tree doesn’t seem to mind the heat but the wind that tends to come always from the same direction is causing it to lean. When it was younger it would bend right over and lie on the ground, breaking the stakes that were trying to support it.

Nice clean pallet, hope all the work goes smoothly.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, it's exciting to see the ongoing work!

[Valerie Chesney]

So much done already! Love carpet roses... Looking forward to the next stage.

It's going to look nice when completed. I hope they didn't damage the roots of that tree when they dug there.

[Shutterbug]

@olivetreeann That is a big concern. It was also a concern for them, so they used a rake rather than a power tool around a crown size diameter of the tree. 🤞

@shutterbug49 Good to know- sounds like they are a very good company.
