This was an interesting challenge to plant a slope that was mostly ledge. Site investigation warranted conducting ledge probes to determine soil depth ranging form 2" - 10" at best. We developed details that would allow planting pocket opportunities, to break the monotony of a bark mulched slope along the entire front entry. Part of the solution used wildflower areas along the slope to attract butterflies, and provide a low maintenance approach. Another focus was to develop a larger side yard. The key to the project was to provide proper drainage for these new elements. A portion of the walkway is an open drainage system for water that continually seeps from the seams in the ledge, days after a rain event.
