Re: About Richard
Hope you had a great time. I really liked Alaska. Spent my time along the Inside Passage though.

Re: About Richard
I have all but two trees in the ground now, and I'm waiting on the hardscape installation next month.

Re: About Richard
Some updated hardscape plans.
Black = existing. Gray = new brick or masonry. Tan = 3/4" recycled concrete (actually ~white). Parquet = Tuscany brick patio. Green = put-put course.

Re: About Richard
With the rototiller: I mixed in 8 cu.ft. of decomposed granite sand, 2 cubic feet of Canadian Peat Moss, and 2.5 cu.ft. of Sunshine General Purpose Soil. The planting hole has about 1 cu.yd. (27 cu.ft.) volume, so that's just short of a 50/50 mix with the native soil.

Re: About Richard
In that location it's 100 years of agriculture residue (about 6 inches) on top of a million years of calcified sands.
