Hooray…the two week process of installing new sprinklers and a drip system for the beds began this week, executed by Kevin Schindler’s Autumn Leaf Landscaping.  We stopped by today to check the progress…the pvc pipe is ready…

the trench in the allee has been dug (this trench incidentally will carry 8-9 pipes each of which will feed various parts of the system)
