Project Showcase: Treadwell Home in McKinleyville
- First
- We start with a blank slate; in this case, a newly built custom home on a ½ acre lot in McKinleyville.
- Next
- Working closely with the homeowner, we develop a landscape design and plot it using CAD tools. This process is interactive, customer-oriented, and can be changed at any time until our work is done.
- Then
- We start the project off by breaking up the soil to 12" deep.
- Soil preparation
- We mix beach sand (works better because it is round) into the soil to improve the drainage; then rototil it into the soil.
- Once grading is complete
- We install drain pipe to the down spouts and install plumbing for facets and drip irrigation.
- After that
- Three inch drain pipe is connected to down spouts and run to rain harvest ponds. Overflow drains to the street.
- Finally
- Stage 1 is complete. The soil is amended and graded at ¼" per foot fall. Drains are flowing into four ponds and dry creek is installed. Steel edging is installed for pathways. Flagstone accents and pathway bark are installed in pathways.
