Backyard Renovation, 95% complete



We're still working on finding a match to some old bricks to create a small patio off the back stairs, but the hard work is done. This landscape went from total shade with 30-50 foot pines, poplars and maples, to 80% sun, using some very substantial tree specimens, including (2) Forest Pansy Redbuds, (2) Dogwood, (1) Brackens BB Magnolia, a Nellie R. Stevens Holly, and a beautiful Deodora Cedar. Nick at Stovall came through for us on the arbor front. Call Nick for outstanding service and stock at 404-391-5037. After a few dozen quality shrubs from Twin Branch Nurseries, and the icing on the cake: 2500 sq. ft. of Meyer Zoysia sod delivered at 2 am in the morning. My clients didn't even hear the truck!

Happy homeowners. Glad I talked them into the larger specimens... the homeowners are glad too.

Special thanks to Robert Hattersly at Dirt Tech for a superior grading job. Robert also came through for us with a good sod broker. With 25 years experience and a positive attitude, he was a pleasure to work with. Call him at 404-934-3478 for just about anything that has to do with landscaping.

Also, a big thanks to the crews that did the hard work - those trees were heavy! (Freddie, Jose, Cruz and Eric).

Having designed and renovated the front and rear landscape at this residence - we just get to watch it grow! For more photos, view the slideshow to the right.

Thank you Tom and Shelia!

Grow on,
Lyn
