After a couple of estimates, Jeff decided to have some work to be done in our front yard and back yard. I got excited because the dreaded ivy that scares the hell out me specially at night will be gone. Correction, partially gone as only the ivy on the left side has been taken out. Jeff is still contemplating on the rest of the ivy - maybe he might decide to just have them all removed and replace them with just regular grass which is much easier to take care off and not as scary. There will be a lot of work for the next four to six weeks so I might not be able to post every day as I have do some supervision of the workers. The front left side will have a new drive way and retaining wall. The left side will have the continuing retaining wall all the way to the back of the house. There is a wooden wall on the left side of the house and this will be removed and replaced with cement wall which will be a continuation of the part that is already a cement wall. Part of this area will have a cement floor which will be used by Jeff when he builds a work shed which will store some of his tools. In the back the old wooden post retaining wall that is rotting away will be removed and replaced with some nice grey keystone cement block. This same landscaper did some work at my MIL's front/back yard and she is very pleased with the changes that was done. It is very low maintenance style with some grey rocks and red rocks as well as keystone retaining wall. They accented with flowering bushes that is enclosed by a scalloped cement borders.
