Installed a Flagpole & Did some Landscaping

[HorseFixer 2,013]

After installing the sprinkler system memorial day weekend I wanted to finish off the landscaping around the large Rock in our front yard. I took Ed (RedBirds) advice and installed a master valve ahead of my zone valves. Thanks Ed believe it or not they stuck open last week running an extra 4 hrs! better late than never I guess! Anyway years ago I made a flag Pole out of

2" pipe it had been layin along side the garage for 10 years. So I decided to finally get it up but wanted to make a hinged base for servicing. I welded up and Fabbed the base last weekend she stand 23' above the ground. Anyway I got it cleaned up with fresh coat of paint. I also wanted of course to fly the flag 24/7 which would require lighting up Ole Glory. I accomplished this by LED Solar Lighting with 2 Light below my flags and a Top mount LED Solar Light. After I got the flag pole installed this week we started landscaping. I decided to remove the sod around the Large rock 2 1/2 tp 3' and install grey brick edging which I dug a trench and cemented in and filled with pea gravel. Here it is. Nearly 260 brick and 1500 lbs of Pea Gravel later Damn I need a Beer!

As usual Duke, a first rate job that looks great with all the bells and whistles. Now if ya just had that one unruly fence slat back in position to complete the un-redneck effect... then a couple of night shots of the flag lit up would be nice. :)

Nice work I too would like to see a few night shots. Where did you get your lighting? I like the solar light idea.

Nice stones Duke. I'd love to talk methodology with the man that did them. Were the done by a monument company?

Duke I don't know how you do so much in such little time. That boulder engraving goes very nice with your embroidered shirt! :WRS:

Looks good Duke ...

but you must be slipping in your "ol" age

Thought for sure you would have had fans installed to blow the flags straight out when the wind wasn't blowing

Enjoy

Nice job Duke, the flag really adds a nice touch to your yard.

Very nice! :hide:

[VinsRJ 723]

Wouldn't look half bad with a CT flag either..... but then again this idiot govenor would find a way to tax you for displaying it. :hide:
