Sometimes I pretend to be normal
Im still exhausted from the 3 days of fun last weekend at Mopars in the Park. I've got to say the group of A body guys that show up and hang together are just like family!
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just doing what I do
Well. All the stone work is done. Everything is filled, graded and seeded. The fill around the edge where the slope meets the patio is 2’ deep compacted large stone and composite. It will never wash out.
Paid them the final check tonight. It is worth every penny!

It does indeed. Even more so, the owner decided that he didn’t like the way water was laying on the patio between the walk-up basement and deck (it was about 1/8” deep in the middle after being hosed down).
He told me he didn’t like it and it wasn’t up to his standards. So he had his crew remove, relevel and reinstall the entire area. I never said a word or asked for it. His own pride in work drove him.
That is a true professional craftsman who take complete pride in what he does.
Here's what things look like today at my property. The big boulder was unearthed when they dug the RV dump, they had to move it cause it was where the shop dig out was to be. They dug the hole for the house and stacked a couple more logs on this pile (not pictured). Glad I came out when they marked the shop, neighbor pointed out HOA says 30 foot set back, not the 15 foot we had, adjustments were made, more fun to come I'm sure : )

Make use of that rock
Last I recall landscape boulders were $60/ton and that looks like a 1 1/2- 2 tonner.
When we crushed the dang things they were worth $12/ton, go figger
