Mesquite coming back to life

September 25, 2007
A couple of long views of the new flagstone patio. I've got the boulders pretty much where I want them and check out the mesquite that went into shock after it was planted. It's coming back to life.

Flagstone patio in and around the fountain

The flagstone patio goes right up to the concrete of the covered patio. Until I get some landscape rock down it will help to control the dust and mud when I wash off the patios. I was tracking so much dirt into the house that I had to move quickly to cover the dirt.

Building the fountain

This is the work that was done on the fountain on Tuesday morning. It was ready for start up the next day. The two trees in the background are Palo Verde and the one with no leaves is the Mesquite that went into shock. Hopefully it will bloom again before winter.

Fountain after startup

September 13, 2007 The fountain after start up. It's in the rough or the dust bowl as I call it. I put a carpet remnant down to walk on temporarily to control the dust and mud. Ugh!
As time goes on it'll get to looking better and better. The trees in the background are a Mesquite and the one furthest away is a Texas Ebony.
