Foundation planting

[pslamont]

Have you considered, rather than bringing in a dozer to dig, stacking rock to make raised areas? There is a fine example in front of Rosette's Nursery (around 27th and Paradise I think). I have seen several homes with lovely landscaping done this way in HPP. You choose your area over something with a crack in it for drainage and then pile rock in any of several fashions to form a wall two to three feet tall. You will the rock walled area with dirt and mulch and have a great growing area. Getting rock delivered is around $400 give or take. Getting a dozer is a $250 delivery fee, then around $175 an hour..... could be worth looking into....
