I've always loved dry creeks in landscaping. Of Course, by the time I had the opportunity I had to actually put one in my yard, they became the lastest craze and everyone was doing it. Oh well, I still wanted one and thankfully Greg was on board.
Our awesome landscapter, David with SK3 Landscaping, did a fantastic job designing and installing our creek bed a few years ago. I can't wait to get flowers and shrubs around it (yep, we are taking the yard slowly). For the last few years, we have had a pallet over the rocky creek acting as a bridge. It worked fine, but definitely not a permament feature.
At the beginning of winter, we made a list of all the projects we could complete during the colder months. Bridges for the front yard was close to the top of the list. Enoch designed the bridges with his beloved graph paper, made a cut list, and got it apporved by Greg. After a trip to Home Depot, the boys spent a few hours over the last two weeks building the bridge base. Today, they cut and assembled the Trex boards on top.
They were a great team! After a few adjustments on the base, the top went together quickly and easily. The bridge looks wonderful over the creek (it still need to be buried in the spring). One more bridge to go and we can check off that project. Progress being made on the yard!
