Normandy Park Restoration

Started, but will need to order more rock

Just wrapped up, needs more bark and some planting, but looks much better than before.

Started with 5.5 tons of Lynch Creek Basalt. Wanted to do the upper retaining wall first, as it was simpler and I wanted to learn my lessons there.  Started with it all dug up. And after a full day of work Wall face is done, side not quite.  Step 2 will be a smaller wall above it and about 3' back, up to the level of the grass.

Gonna see if I can knock out the retaining wall before Winter.  Started with this (old pics): Had some boards up to show where the wall will be.  Inserted this: Started doing some damage: And now have this: Isn't fully leveled, and will need to add more rock, but I'm probably going to asphalt it.
