PJ Great job as stated by everyone else. Just clicking the pics make my back hurt /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif. By the way your choice of exercize is a good one. Going to the gym to lift weights get old , but I bet that class gets your heart pumping /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Just to thank you for the pics & play by play. I just have to look when my wife isnt around. One look & Id have a WHOLE lot of work this summer /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif, Brian

A few more pictures of the wall as the shrub planting is completed. Covered the top in fabric for weed control and started to plant some ground cover to help hold the soil on the front slope.
The first photo is the back of the wall (finished side for me to look at).

View from the road side. The hedge plantings are in groups of 4 with 125 in total. Planted Contoneaster (lucidus), Yellow Dogwood (Cornus alba) and Red Dogwood (Cornus baileyi).
Will wait a year and then start trimming new growth to fill in hedge and then let it grow to a height of 10 feet including the 3 ft wall. Project will take 4 to 5 years and give me privacy, dust control, wind barrier, and with luck a half zone in growing.
