River rock walkway installation

Almost 9 yards of river rock were ordered. The rocks were delivered curbside.



A weed control mesh was place beneath the rocks. The mesh has a 20 life.

Here is a view from the rear towards the front of the house.




Overall, my wife is pleased with the work. The rocks are a bit dusty right now; should look much better once we get some rain.

Pond excavation

Mother nature left us a large boulder in the middle of the pond excavation. The boulder was so huge and solid that we had to rent a jackhammer. Even with the jackhammer, it took a good eight hours to break it down into manageable boulders. The smaller boulders were used to embellish the hillside.




Brothers, Braulio and Aldo took turns on the jackhammer. The boulder was so solid that it had to be tackled in sections.
