This picture is of the back yard. There is gravel between the sides of the house, which is shown in the top left part of the picture. In Stage One of the landscaping, the gravel was not placed correctly according to the design plans, and there should not be any gravel underneath the two plants in the top left of the picture. The gravel will be removed for these two plants.
