Backyard: Day 4

Well, it's a little messy out there, but a lot of progress has been made in the past 4 days!

The trenches were dug for all of the retaining walls, stone/cement seat, and for all of the posts for the deck, stairs, arbor, and planter box. They have also leveled out the ground for most of the tiers.

It amazes me just how much dirt they dug up! The trenches, and especially the holes for the posts are VERY deep! We'll be utilizing the extra dirt in various places, but for now, we're just trying to keep it out of the way.

It's supposed to rain tonight/tomorrow, so the crew covered the large dirt piles with tarp so that it'll be easier to move later.
