Berm and planting

Filled the berm with soil and composted manure - over 200 bags. Firmed it and replanted the Spiraea Fujino Pink and the Skinner's Banana Shrub. Also planted the Sunny Burford Holly, Philip Watson Holly, Cryptomeria Sekkan Sugi and Lusterleaf Holly. Covered all with pine straw.

Berm

Dug up the grass on the corner of the croquet lawn and dug up the remaining Mary Nell Holly. Potted it up. Cut the wood and attached the cross pieces for the back of the berm. Joined it up to the stone retaining wall at the property corner. Filled in the holes from the plants that have been removed with more clay soil.

Berm

Marked off the plants for spacing and put the wood up, marking it for the cross pieces.
