Yard Work

 

So.... We had a landscaping company here this past week working on our yard.  The  areas around the fence posts where the fence people left chunks of clay and "stuff" got some topsoil and seed.  Several dead Azalea stumps were dug out and the sweet shrub was reduced in size.  The sweet shrub was just out of control, they are fast spreaders.  New Azaleas were planted.  All the mulched areas were edged and new cedar mulch was put down.  They installed a French drain in a problem area in the side yard.

And here is the issue.  They installed a drain on the other side of our yard a few years ago.  It's fine and helped that area.  But on Thursday we had very hard rain.  The rain washed the dirt out from where they had dug this time.  This dirt ran all the way down to the front curb.  AND, the drain grate has popped up out of the ground!  It is a MESS.

I have already called and talked to the head man.  He and the guys will be returning, hopefully on Monday.  Sigh.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  And God Bless America!  Life is good!
