Planting Plan

Satan (AKA our drainage reviewer) is demanding a Planting Plan.  It's a technical document showing how we plan to re-plant the well road.  There is a specific list of native plants we're allowed to use.  There are three types (trees, shrubs, groundcovers).  We have to use at least two species within each plant type.  There is a spacing schedule.  For example, a 1 gallon Vine Maple covers 4' on center.  Every square foot of the well road has to be coveres by a plant radius. 

We learned this week that planting plans cost about 2K, and the guy that can do it is out next week, when we planned to re-submit.  So...I bought $10 landscape design software and told the civil engineer we want to tey to create it ourselves.  He agreed to try it!  So Jeremy spent a lot of time today designing our plan.   Fingers crossed it works!!!!
