Owner of this project knew a busy railroad track & parking detracted from selling his new student housing.  Large specimens were planted to diminish both.

Pool decking, above, is travertine set in sand.  Shaefer Heard Landscaping, Inc. has been installing pools for 2 + decades with this team.

Commercial projects are a team.  Heard's Landscaping, Inc., looks forward to working with this owner at each bid.

Of course this project was installed during July/August (2014), temps above 100f many days.

Deadlines loom.  Some work days ended at 1am.

The Auburn Tiger's, War Eagle, stadium is within walking distance of this project.

A multi-million dollar project for the owner, each student housing suite needed to be rented.  Aesthetics, and safety, sold the units.  All units rented ahead of opening.

Heard's Landscaping, Inc., after completion of this project, is totally miffed at the lack of control over students walking their dogs near every door entry/exit.
