Front yard taking shape


Landscaping looks great! We are always impressed with how hard those guys work. Looks like they are probably wrapping up for the winter and will finish the rest of the details in the spring when we start to think about plants and such. Just rocks for the winter! The irrigation system is roughed in and we have hills and rivers to help control the drainage. We've lucked out with a pretty mild November so they were able to get a bunch of work done.

 

The big coil of plastic tube is the water line coming from the house. The plumber needs to get this hooked up to our water meter (in the little concrete box by the sidewalk) soon so that we can have water before the snow covers everything! 



 

We absolutely love the flagstone stairs. They used some of the flat malapai rock for the risers and then big pieces of Flagstone from Ash Fork for the treads. Our neighbor said that stairs are nice so that people don't have to walk up the steep driveway slope...plus they add some interest to the massive slab of concrete!

They nicely graded the left side of the driveway. We'll see how the drainage is this winter and add some crushed rock in the spring to help contain the dirt. 



The driveway is all clean and ready to be sealed!
