Sadly, they did not. We have worked with his gentleman and his family for years, so he gave us a really decent offer. We offered to pay in cash, and he accepted. When we handed him the cash, he said, you know, this is going straight into the night deposit slot!
I think going forward he will probably have to recoup some of his losses on this one. Honestly, I wouldn’t blame him. It wasn’t our fault, and it wasn’t his fault. It was just one of those things that happen. Normally, if another company had done this much damage to our lawn, I would be upset, but with these guys, I just can’t be. It will take us some time to recover the grass, but with time, it will be okay.
I think the idea of a fragrance garden is a good idea! Thank you for that idea! So much needs to change over there now, but I like that fragrances can help you be meditative and relaxed, which was the point of the old garden. It was full of native wildflowers, mostly because there were so many hickory nuts dropping in the soil that whatever was there HAD to get along with those nuts.
It was a lovely sitting area. The one thing about this that works for me is that sometimes you need to make a change. I tend to get stuck in my old ways. This is forcing me to rethink the design of the area.
I try to make my yard a bit like a country Victorian garden, since our house is Victorian style, and a little bit like a botanical garden. And a little bit rural and woodsy. LOL. I want a bit of everything, don’t I?
