Fence, tree removal, and bball

Here is the retaining wall in process...note the pecan tree in the forefront.

Here's the new fence...note the tree is GONE! they had to move the retaining wall closer to the house b/c of a gas line. so the fence was going to be hitting the tree.

The tree was on it's last limb (sorry for the bad pun) so we decided to have it removed while it was still easily accesible. i was soooo sad that morning as they cut it down.

now the boys can run around the garage and be completely enclosed in the fence. they can also ride bikes on the driveway without me worrying about them going into the busy street.

(note: price is not riding a bike yet...just planning ahead. =)).

Bruce's pride & joy...thanks JP for all the help putting this puppy together.

late last week and this week they stained the fence (i describe it as the color of a tree trunk...subtle, blends in with the landscaping)

only one more post to come...the real landscaping!
