A neighborhood featuring lakes, trees, rolling hills, and estate-sized lots.
We have many lovely trees in Country Place, both wild and cultivated. This cypress, in Rebecca and Dave Mohr’s yard, is one of the latter and here is highlighted by a shaft of light cutting through the canopy.
For those of you who called yesterday and others who are curious, Petty Landscaping is working on the Idell’s drainage to repair the rock wall and re-channel the drainage swale along Lakeshore. Work should be completed today.
In the next few weeks (depending on continued dry weather) L&L Asphalt should be able to complete the work on Lakeshore which will repair the damage done by heavy rains. They will unclog the culvert between the Links and the Idells (18981 and 18948 Lakeshore) in front of the Kelsays (19355 ), the Magees (19043) and the failing valley gutter between the Lowells and Littles (19053 and 19065) where L&L will do additional work for the homeowners replacing the wooden flume with a concrete version with curbed sides. For more detail on the work approved, 2016_L&L-Asphalt_Estimates.
If you would like additional work done (on your driveway, for instance), now would be a good time to contact David Lockridge at L&L (903.561.2887).
In the past few years, I’ve watched as the Knotens, then the Roberts, have put in retaining walls and nice back patios or kitchens. With our large yards, we have big canvases to work with and many of our neighbors have added more living space to their homes by creating these outdoor escapes.
I recently had an opportunity to photograph the wonderful space that Gena and Dr Roy Morrison commissioned Scott Greene (Boulevard Homes) to create in their backyard. Using the surrounding hickory trees as a design motif, Scott has created a “fire/conversation pit” (shaped like a hickory leaf) that allows for an appreciation of our lovely surroundings here in Country Place.
