01 — The Challenge

Sandy soil, a cracked slab and a chain-link fence — a yard the family walked past instead of using.

The Shem Creek Yard — the challenge

02 — The Plan

Organize the yard into two rooms: a bluestone patio for supper and a turf lawn for play, framed by cedar fencing and muhly grass.

The Shem Creek Yard — the plan

03 — The Build

Broke out the slab, set a compacted base, laid bluestone and premium turf with hidden nailer edging, then planted the borders in one week.
