Landscape Plants

There was a burst of activity starting at 11:15 today.

An Awesome Home Theatre installer showed up with a few items for the low voltage trim and explained that they are waiting on parts to complete the job.

Three cabinet installers arrived to quickly set the replacement center kitchen island, as they had been told the countertop was arriving at noon. I was glad I was there as we were able to agree on exact positioning of the island. They did not even have time to permanently attach it to the floor before the countertop installers showed.

The countertop was installed on the island.

A plumber came and installed the dishwasher and insulated the water heater pipes.

The landscaping crew arrived with the majority of our trees, shrubs, and plants. They positioned them on the yard and then asked us to check that everything was ok before they were planted. The landscaper arrived and answered questions about growth rates. He did a great job helping us reposition a few of our selections. I think the benefit we have gotten from Central Florida Nursery is great compared to the small cost for upgrading some of the choices. It was a rough start in August, but worked out well.

The ValleyCrest groundskeeper who manages the irrigation system arrived and did an initial evaluation of the irrigation system. He assured me that he would check to be sure it was programmed in the "new landscape" mode to water daily for the next few weeks.

By the end of the day all the landscape trees, shrubs, and plants were set, with the exception of a few of the palms and two plant types, which are due to arrive tomorrow.

Next up, mulch and sod.
