We had to take priority with the drainage around the pool and direct it outside of pool area . We dug trenches with positive drain flow and upsized pipe from Gutters to 6 inch Pvc pipe with Emitters at each end of pipes. We then had to address the pool pump wash out. We dug a cistern for the wash out to go in outside the pool area as well. 

 

We dug up all the existing grass around the pool and laid Landscape Fabric two layers deep .Angela and I then discussed overall finished look and final grading with Sifted Topsoil and Whistling Cove Compost for Plantings . We addressed issues for dry creek bed and A.C unit along with Foundation Vents. 

 

Here we used a Tan and Charcoal blend Retaining wall block as shown in the pictures. We then used a decorative stone behind walls for aesthetics and to keep grass out of area. 

 

We then hauled in 44 tons of Pea Gravel applying it to areas shown in pictures along with Cut Flagstone Stepping stones. We created a HERB Bed close to House for Angela along with a Stone Raised Bed Garden filled with Whistling Cove Compost also shown in pictures. To hide Pool Pump we created a Berm and installed Arborviteas to hide pump . 

 

Plantings come later when time is right and we will plant Hydrangeas and Mark Anthony Liriope and many other Beautiful plants.
