Hi Tom, next time you come to Michigan, you should stop by. I'm so pleased to finally be finishing off the landscaping around the greenhouse that I've been enjoying for 4 years.
I can't believe it's really happening!

Very nice Dot. What are you planting in the beds?

Today progress was made on the retaining wall. I think they also finished leveling-off the stones in the driveway.
The smoke is actually cement dust from cutting the cap-stones to fit the curved corners:
This corner of the wall is finished:
This corner is being completed:
Ready for the pavers:
Hopefully, tomorrow they can get a lot of the pavers down, before the cold and snow coming our way sets in.

No plants near greenhouse. That space will be pavers for a walkway around the greenhouse for exterior maintenance (like washing windows, access to fan and louvers, etc.

Not a planting area. See post above yours, please.
Not entirely sure we can do the MOS Palm Sunday show in 2015, but if so - I'd love to visit; not much that can compare to a well landscaped, climate controlled greenhouse.

Not much to look at today. But they said they would lay the pavers tomorrow.
Boulders delivered -- to line the drive on the opposite side of the wall:
Show the angle of slope for the paver walkway, a total of 1":
The smoothed finish, preparatory to laying the pavers tomorrow:

This is how you know they have too much land!

Today, despite the freezing cold, most of the pavers were placed and filled:
This is pretty close to how it will look when finished:

Mature growth?
Looking fabulous. Really accentuates the greenhouse.

A lot of work was done today, despite the occasional lake-effect snow.
They finished laying the pavers, and also the rocks along the drive:
Notice the big rock on the right, protecting the wall from potential damage by a snow plow.

Wow!
Outstanding Dot. Those guys are goooood. Love the pavers and that random
looking pattern. My rock wall took another hit yesterday by a new UPS delivery
person...new UPS employee, more wall down. Never fails.

Looks awesome, Dot!
yikes! you should set up a camera and each time someone whacks the wall, submit a bill/video to the parent company. either that or a proximity sensor, and each time someone starts to get too close, a giant foghorn goes off.....
