Martin Homestead Landscaping


After 30 years of doing my own landscaping, I finally gave in and hired a landscape architect to assist me with some heavy equipment and ideas to beautify 3 ugly banks.   The photos show the progress so far.  The Landscape Architect will  add the plants and ground cover. I will add the watering system,  cement curbs to retain the dirt , 8 inches of mulch to control the weeds and build all of the brick walls.  I got a chance to use my excavator skills.  My goal is to be done by mid-december.

Photos are shown as "Before and After " as much as possible

Moss Lane Street bank, removed the weeds and ground cover, placed large rocks 














Widened the drive way, made room for a hugh rock and planter, goal is to stop people from turning onto the lawn 



Good place to rest and drink coffee in the mornings, to enjoy the sun.




Removed 8 inches of dirt, will fill with driveway gravel. The Motorhome parking area was leveled.  Will put landscape brick between our Homestead and the neighbor. 











Removed 8 inches of dirt which will be filled in with driveway gravel.  Build a rock wall, remainder of bank will be landscaping brick
