Waterfall Garden and Stone Sign
completed October 2008

Our new waterfall garden and etched stone sign is completed!

Our hard-working volunteers and maintenance men, as well as employees from Brookside Landscaping, completed the job in a short time.

Residents are going outdoors to sit by the waterfall
and enjoy the soothing sound of water rushing over the rocks.
The purple asters are blooming and butterflies are fluttering around.
It's a beautiful sight! We invite you to come and see.

Here's a view of the front of Fairview Haven with the old landscaping and sign.


BEFORE: View towards the street with the old sign.


Volunteers begin early on a misty morning, digging out the old, tired landscaping.


Volunteers demonstrate that many hands make light work.


The old brick pillars and painted wooden sign are toppled.


Passerbys stop to watch the action.


Digging out the old dirt and adding fresh fill dirt.


Pouring a new, smooth walkway.


Pouring a cement wall to mount the new stone sign.


It's so interesting to watch the work!


Precisely laying rocks for the waterfall so they look natural.


Flowers are placed in the landscaping and ready to plant.


The waterfall is working! Admiring the results.


Final Phase: Setting the new flagpole in a newly landscaped area in the side yard.


The flag is raised into the blue October sky.


AFTER: Isn't this a beautiful scene?


And here's the waterfall, sparkling in the morning sunshine.

          THANKS TO ALL WHO WORKED AND DONATED FUNDS
FOR THE WATERFALL GARDEN!

WE WILL ENJOY THE FRUIT OF YOUR LABORS FOR YEARS TO COME.
