Further along on the driveway beds

Almost all the weeds and scrub have been cleared out, and the dirt moved about to give a more pleasing flow to the ground levels. Next, weed trees need to come out so new ones can go in. I'm thinking of lilacs in a couple of spots, definitely dogwood and vine maple on the neighbors side, along with mock orange and osoberry over mahonia, salal, native iris and ferns. Iris and daylilies along the driveway edge.





Still need to dig out the soil along the driveway edge and get the rocks out. They laid it quite wide the first time thru, but there's no need for it to remain that extreme. Already it's an improvement, but it'll look really good in about five years.

Driveway progress

When they first punched the driveway thru to the property site a large berm of dirt and debris was left alongside. I've been working recently to get the weeds cleared off, the dirt relocated and the view exposed. I'm planning on putting in a large planting of native plants as a backdrop to iris beds along the edge of the drive.




More pics as it progresses.
