The Great Garden Project of '09

We've started our very big Spring project of re-doing our yard and here are some pics of the progress... Right now it's looking like a crazy big dirt pile but hopefully over the next few weeks it'll transform into a great place to hang out all summer... I think Kaia would be happiest if we just left it a big dirt pile!

Before...

Removing the old patio...














Movin' dirt...

Taking out the retaining wall...










































This is a preliminary design, shape of the patio has changed, but the spirit is the same.















Final structural plans, fully-rendered in 3D, board by board. Building begins in about 2 hours! This is just eh infrastructure... plants, pots, steps and all kinds of goodness to be added...
