These cottage owners started with a steep and rocky yard in front of their cottage. It was difficult to take care of and not very useable. What they wanted instead was:
A nice hangout area,
A useable yard,
A golf course style area where they could catch a football, set up lawn bowling, play bocci ball or set up a volleyball net.
Basically they wanted to have a nice recreational yard that was easy to take care of. Below are some pictures before we started and during the landscaping process. Further down you'll see the finished result.
What we did on this cottage landscaping job
For this project we started by moving the rocks that were already onsite into a retaining wall. We hauled in 500 yards of fill and soil. Then we laid down 11,000 square feet of sod. Now we are watering the sod and it's been growing 4-5 inches a week. We can barely keep up with it.
When the yard was complete they decided to add a black granite walkway with a 6x6 border of brown treated lumber. This completed the cottage landscaping project. Now they have a functional and beautiful yard at their cottage.
