Beginning of Front Yard Redo

Two pallets of stone and six yards of mulch were delivered on February 25. The first project is to enhance the area around the drain that runs under the driveway in front of the house. Below is a picture of the drain prior to the retaining wall.



The intent of the design decided upon was to develop a retaining wall that would allow for the corner area to be used as planting area and to use prostate rosemary to cascade over the wall to soften the area.



I have planted rosemary, shrimp plant and bulbine in this area.  As these plants mature I'll post more photos of the area.
