Jason and Michelle's home projects:

The summer of 2004 is full of exterior work consisting mostly of landscaping. Brick pavers, retaining wall and plants were added. The paver work was done by Sticks & Stones Landscape Contractors (586-285-8000). Check back for updated photos! Click here for a watering and fertilizing schedule.
