Landscapting Update Project by Charles e Whisnant

 Today May 24, 2013:  Looking at the property on the left side of the house. Cut the grass and worked on the trees in the background.

 This morning I bought four  8 foot fence post, nine bags of mulch and yesterday 9 pages of rocks.  This  project was to cover up the space that I had burned the trees limbs, etc.  I put bags of mulch, then placed the fence post around the mulch. Then I put the rocks  to the right, after I dug a little in to the ground to keep the rocks in.  I have never in my life done this.

 The property is on a hill.  From top to the bottom of the hill is 70 feet, Then you are at the bottom but not at the end of the property. Maybe another 20 feet or 30 feet.  To walk down the hill I use my golf shoes.  What I thought I would do is to see if I could put some steps in.  Never done this before either.  So from the top of the hill which is in our back yard.  I used some old tiles.  I don't know if they will work but we will try.  I hope to put up a walking rail to hold on to.

. 

This is another spot where I burnt leaves and limbs. So I put some mulch to cover it up.

The Beaver Story Continues

The Beaver Story

 This last fall I encountered some beavers  trying to cut down some tress. Well little trees would be okay, but the big ones just had to stop.  I made several attempts in trying to stop them, but was not able to.  They did get a few little trees, but then they started on a big one.  That had to stop. 
This photo above is not the beaver I saw, its one I found on Google Image. But if I find this little fellow I am going to make a trophy out of him, if possible.

 The beaver might have cut down this tree but could not move it.  He was not as strong has  he might have thought he was.

Early this spring or late winter, the beavers were up to no good in trying to take down a good tree,. I need a photo of the beavers work. But  here I covered up the tree and the beavers left.If you will look    closely in the center of the photo a tree that is rapped  with  a paste cover around the tree. Yes this worked, the beaver left it along.
