Yard Work: The crooked straight and the rough places plain.....

I've been working on a project up in Armonk for a few years now, mostly on paper but, we're at the point where work is fast and furious. The property is situated on a craggy hillock with some nice views but it was an awkward site. Lucio our architect suggested creating a retaining wall which has allowed us to double the size of the front courtyard and relocate the driveway on axis with the main door.



One of several big machines which is moving and filling in....





Two views of the massive retaining walls which will contain the new courtyard 
They'll be finished off with brick.
