The BIG grey
circle was left for us when we moved in. I believe up until early 2015, there
was an above ground pool in that location. Apparently it was badly damaged beyond
repair in an ice storm and was removed.
We went
through various thoughts of what to do with this ugly scar. Some of our ideas
included, relocating the fire pit to the centre of the circle and surround it
with a creative design of patio slabs. Another suggestion was to use the area
as a vegetable/herb garden by arranging homemade wooden garden frames with
walkways between them. The eventual winner was to remove the crushed stone,
fill with top soil and sod to the lot ....
I thought perhaps
we could do this ourselves, but this idea was soon consigned to the deep when I
was advised that the crushed stone could be about 18" deep. I did try to dig
at it, but I would have had as more success denting solid concrete with a
toothpick.
Enter Terry and
his backhoe ~
Terry a local
guy came by on the 5th May and spent a couple of hours digging up the
crushed stone and filling the area with top soil. The removed stone was then spread
around the lot in front and to the side of the single garage.
Today 23
June, the sod finally arrived and now we have a BIG green circle .....
