Here Come the Rocks!

Since the house plans are taking a bit longer to complete- we want to be sure everything just right with them. We've decided to proceed with back yard landscaping. We are reshaping the rear slope and bringing in some very large boulders. This will add accents and structure to the land. We have chosen Nathan Cleaver Construction to assist with this and create the boulder outcroppings.





We were able to obtain the boulders from two local sources.

Nathan started by carving back the rear slope and creating depressions where the boulders will rest.








With the large excavator he was able to carefully position each boulder giving it a very natural look. Nathan is very talented.



 





He even placed some flat boulders to serve as steps!




Look how large some of these 'big boys' are! 




All finished and it looks great!  Notice Cheryl (at left under tree) is already planting shrubs in amongst the boulders !
