This project will create a big impact in the space, but require minimal effort. The functionality of this passive water harvesting system will be elevation focused, and we will be using the laser level and a bunyip to maximize our water harvesting capacity. This project will also have a rockwork component that will largely accent the yard and, hopefully, create spatial division for the dogs to play in. There will be a mini lesson on Bermuda grass, as this is a yard in which we will be working with that context.
