Landscape project week 7 day 4: the side steps are done! The swale to direct water across the front yard is also done, but it’s so subtle it just looks like a strip of disturbed dirt.
Mindblowing: this tower in Chicago has a water reservoir at the top that helps dampen the forces from wind.
Landscape project week 7 day 3: the drainage and retention is all in place! They continued work on the side steps with slate chips and boulders.
Landscape project week 7 day 2: the side steps got some pavers in place and some grading done; the drainage is in place from the back yard to the front and a pit excavated for the dry wells; trenches for the piping from a front gutter to the retention system dug.
