This year we decided to take out part of our retaining wall in the back yard and add steps for easier access to our back property. Here’s the old wall... As you can see from the picture above, this particular section of wall was terribly unattractive. Another problem is that it is the immediate view from our living room windows. Ugh. But then Fito, our stone guy, went to work and look at our view now! Our new steps are a beautiful and functional addition. Our plan is to plant shrubs and perennials on the slope beside the steps. We also need to extend the stone pathway at the bottom of the steps to the gate at Boots’ Run. And finally we plan to have a large spot leveled for a fire pit sitting area which will be a destination spot to which the steps lead. But those are next year’s plans! Project by project... we’re getting there!

Yes, he is talented. It took a week longer than he thought plus cleanup. He was as thorough in cleaning up as he was in construction of the steps. We like this guy.
