Views from the streambed. The cardboard tubes are for starting plants. They're functionally useless, but they're required to meet the specs of the Dept of Fish and Game. These pictures give us a lot of pleasure, because we have feared since planning began that the job would screw up the stream. It did not. The rock outcrops form back eddy pools where steelhead already hang out. There is no mud in the pool below the house because there was no mud discharged into the stream during the work.
Half the end-of-job work you can't see. The sand from the sandbags went into the fill. They used left-over blacktop to patch potholes on our road (!!). They swept and hosed the driveway, graded the yard to a fine point, and left us with the best possible feelings at wrap-up. Good job, guys. The job was done by Pavex Construction, a division of Granite Rock. They couldn't have done better.
