Jordana's Blog: Heavy Machinery

You're along for the ride of my landscape project this spring. We just renovated our house and all we have is dirt outside.

The decks began last week and this morning I had the beautiful view of Bobcats tooling around my yard bringing the bricks for the retaining wall.

I'm thrilled with the mess and the mud and the commotion, although I feel bad for the birds nesting in the downed trees in my yard; they'll be "relocated."

I feel worse for the neighbors who are suffering through the noise and mini-monster trucks in our yard. Sorry neighbors, it will all be worth it when we're drinking wine on the patio together.

I'm open to all advice as I've never build a deck or a wall, or a fence before. What's your greatest landscape victory or nightmare project?
