    Got Clean Fill: Part 2

    This is all that is left of the clean fill that is left to move to the backyard.

     
    What is left of the clean fill
    Both of the Cornus alternifolia variegata have been planted.  Bruce also lined both garden beds with rocks (one man rubble) Now just have to do the finishing touches and probably sod the area.
