Build a Dry Creek Bed

Step 1

This week Jake had a wonderful idea of extending the distance that water travels from our gutters into a dry creek bed. By the end of Sunday, voila! Teamwork really does make the dream work! 

Step 2

A few folded over layers of plastic secured to the ground with lawn staples hold it in place while providing a channel for water to flow through and away from the house's foundation. 

Step 3

After reclaiming rocks from various parts of the yard, the dry creek bed is complete. Reclaimed rocks and pea gravel + plastic sheeting from a previous project + gargoyle Christmas Present = Gargoyle Creek 

Step 4

Rawr!!

Waiting for rain!
