To avoid casualties, I finished the fence rails around the parkway rain garden before I started with the excavation. I wanted to collect stormwater runoff from the street and not people falling into the rain garden.
I did, however, leave out the interior fence rails flanking the parkway paths. That allowed me to have free movement between the three rain garden cells, which made the excavation process easier.
As the rain garden excavation was completed and the brick paver edge installed, it was time to install the last fence rails.
This was starting to look good! I was so close to getting the fence panels installed.
