Rocks & Grass

This was the final piece of work to be done in Gloria's backyard. I built the fence and gate last summer and this summer we finished the landscaping on the side of the deck. Colorado Buff sandstone was used with Colorado red crushed rock. I planted bunches of decorative grasses to break up the fence line and mask the window well. The grasses are irrigated with a drip system to conserve water.
