This is a picture of the side yard part way into a landscape renovation project we completed on the North Shore. The old planting has been removed and a pressure treated wood retaining wall and new cedar fence have been constructed at the very back. A basalt stone wall has been built below the deck to create a large level planting area. After this, 60 cubic yards of fill and soil have to be added to level the back yard and side yard, then plants, turf and fertilizers are to be added. We are blowing soil in through the large red hose - a cost-saving technique in hard to access or steep properties found through the North Shore and Bowen Island.
This is the same side yard looking into the back yard. Soil, plants, and the new lawn turf have been added. What a difference a few days of work make! Landscape lighting has also been added but it's not visible.
