Hardscaping with Stones

Last week we had our favorite "excavator" guy, Noel Hess, bring and install two truckloads of 3 - 4 man rocks. He created four solid steps up to the hillside garden area. He also installed about 20 big rocks in the large berm area along our lower driveway, and he placed more on the upper berm and hillside.

This weekend we shoveled 35 yards of bark! I was pretty careful to keep away from most plants. I had put compost around many landscape plants a couple weeks ago.

Here are some photos showing the results of our work this week.
 You can see the new steps on the right:

This is the "berm" next to the lower driveway:

Here are two photos of Noel at work on the steps:
