Landscaping Progress

This picture is taken just off the back porch. The path will be filled with crushed granite. The bed to the left has been mulched, the bed to the right has not been mulched yet. That's why one side is darker than the other. The pool is in view to the right.
Beds curve down the slope on both sides of the boardwalk. My husband is concerned that the wood will rot now that there are sprinklers around the boardwalk. Once I've planted shrubs, etc on both sides he won't be able to easily get in there and repair rotted wood. Yeah, he probably should have voiced that concern before I hired the landscaper, gave him half the money, and had him begin the work. I can't think of everything!
Another view walking down the slope to the Orchard.
This side of the Orchard is almost finished.
This side needs some mulching, and the beds have not been built yet. The landscaping will extend out past the two peach trees to the right and all the way to back where the land is cleared.
This is a view from the Orchard looking up towards the back of the house.
