Commentary by a 2.5 year old, “workin’”

Beautifying a mound system, while also giving the driveway a little more space

Funky view, but a beautiful bluestone patio was installed on the shelf of the retaining wall that was completed over the winter. 50’ long patio, and compared to the wall, it almost looks small, but it’s not! The wall is just super long!

A big happy birthday to Blade today! The sole man behind all of these incredible works of art.

And our newest supervisor has officially entered the job sites!

Everyone, meet Wrenley! Born on 8/11/26, she’s already got Daddy wrapped around her finger.

And this was just the front…

It was a Blade & Brittany duo kind of day. Had to take the “almost” 27 week pregnant lady out of the office to wrap this up to be ready for the next job tomorrow that couldn’t be pushed out.

A new build meant, all new topsoil trucked in, Blade raked by hand to get the best finish. Seeded, strawed, rolled, and watered.

Oh- and then finished out the night with the little guy laying out driveway fabric for a heavy day of trucking for a 300’+ driveway install.

What’s the saying, something about hay and sunshine?

And yes, we are both SPENT 😴

101 cedars planted. IN ONE DAY! Granted, the homeowners were of huge help. So together, the trio knocked this enormous planting out of the park.

Huge shoutout to local nursery, for supplying some really healthy cedars! This variety was arborvitae nigras, and do really well in VT.

Check out the last slide to see Blade’s innovative and fun way to initially water the plants before sealing them up 😅🙃😜

Of course, the youngest supervisor was on site making sure things went smooth.
