This is the yard (and the house) BEFORE anything was done.
 |
Front yard--the sand is very deep and the front walkway is cracked-up cement. |
 |
There was a shed with a tin roof to the left. The yard comprises a lot and a half--actually fairly large for a lot at the beach. |

After measuring and evaluating the property, Bill gave me a plan showing the beds, walkways, and plant material he recommended. You can see the three palms we planted in the front yard drawn in on the left side of the paper.

One thing Bill noted was that the lot sloped so that water ran off in the direction of the house--not a good thing. He planned to correct this problem so drainage would flow away from the house. I'm so grateful for his expertise--this is something I would not have realized until there was a problem. Here are photos of the yard after grading was done.

As you can see, we opted to take down the shed. |

Good beginning--check back for how it all turns out!
