After we had our deck integrasealed, Jim decided that we needed to do something about the rain water run-off under the deck because the staircase had shifted away from the deck a couple of inches. So we created a couple of dry streambeds that would steer the water away from that area. Jim did almost all the work himself because he had two truckloads of rock that had to be wheel-barrowed from the driveway to the back and I really couldn’t help with that so I played supervisor. After the rock was done he did the same thing with mulch. I think it turned out nice and we’ve already had some heavy downpours and the rain seems to be diverting nicely.
Before
Jim's a hard worker!
After
We realize that it won't stay this nice & clean but we're enjoying it while we can....
