The House Site


This was the the bulldozer knocking down trees at the house site late last summer. There were several very large Tulip Poplar and Sweetgum trees that we needed to be completely removed, roots and all.

This is what it looks like now. The stack of Cedar in the background is 5' tall and is being used for a large fence.

This is the driveway as it crosses the creek. To the right of this area is a 3'-4' bank. The cedar fence will sit on top of it. Last December I planted some variegated vinca on the bank to hold the soil. It seems to be coming out well. I will fill in the holes during the spring and in a few years it should be well established. The next project is gravel so we can make it up this hill in winter.
