Some pics of the work completed My favorite part is the new walkway the the newly made planting bed.

Thats why I decided against the 'Koto no ito' maple that I really wanted, it will outgrow the space, likely in a much shorter time than anticipated. Im leaning towards a red dragon at this point. That one will fit perfectly in the spot.

Job has been completed... but no new pics. Still need to move a sprinkler head and add irrigation to the front bed. Was looking forward to adding a certain Japanese maple to the newly added front bed but the adult size would get into the power line feeding the house and just dont want to...

They decide they would be able to pour today so they are doing it right now. Progress so far: Back addition blends right in with what we already had done Front entry now is so much more inviting

First pour begins today! It will be the addition to patio in backyard and the space between the neighbors and in front of garage. The bad news is that the temps next week being so excessive, they will wait until it cools to do the other two pours.

With the new walkway we gain a bed in the front that will need to get planted. I want to put something with a bit of height but have to be careful because of the proximity to the house, walkway and having my power lines coming in that area. There are a couple of Japanese maples of interest but...

Better idea of the continuity of the driveway now with all the concrete and asphalt out

All concrete out and lines are cut in asphalt, which will be removed next The asphalt was really bad and the thickness in some areas is like 1-1/2", no wonder why it was cracking!

House looking like a war zone but progress is happening. Front concrete about 3/4 of the way out They started the cut into the asphalt, and we decided to go to the back fence to be able to have a better continuity to the pour Had not realized how much more living space the back addition will...

Awesome update @Madness!

Today we started the driveway job! The shared asphalt is also in bad shape and we will have it cut along the property line and have it all replaced with concrete. The ground breaking began Backyard patio area will be added onto, another 7' x 17' section along the back side of the house...

My tanks were getting too algae covered for my liking so I tackled some gravel vacuuming, glass cleaning type water changes on a couple tanks this morning. Much better looking now. Did a drain and fill on the 300 because I was seeing a bit of green water going on. The Fluval UV designed for...

Going on a little over 4 years now for my Coral Bark maple. When it was first planted in Sept. of 22' What it looks like now with a bit of pruning this year to shape it Of the two coral barks I know of, this one is supposed to be the larger variety and can hopefully get a good 20' tall and...

LOL, Yep we are a pretty small group of active to semi-active members, that's why we appreciate getting new blood in here.
