Fixing A Steep Bank

We have a small area beside the house that is steep and shady making it hard to grow grass and mow, so we decided to do something else.  Since Bev is always looking for new places to put plants (she can’t control herself at a plant sale), we decided to terrace it using the common wall stones in use today.  I forgot to get a shot before we began, but this is what it looked like early on.

I hired some guys to build the walls and back fill in early spring, then we haired a neighbor kid to do the planting and spread the mulch to get it to this point and I’m confident many more plants will follow.

This is a shot from the top and we still have the section below the wall to plant and mulch.

The area is now ready for the blogger party.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
