5 Tons of Work Ahead

A few days ago, while returning from Byrdstown TN, we made a short stop at a landscape company and nursery in Albany. The owner told us that they were too busy to take on any more work due to large jobs around Dale Hollow, but if it rained we should call them. OK, so today it rained and I called about 8:30 AM. I spoke with the owner and told him we wanted to order some rock to cover our flower beds. We had decided to order 5 tons, which was the most he could haul on his small dump truck. We worked out the directions and he said his driver would call when he came through Burkesville. About an hour later, the driver called and a few minutes after that he drove up the driveway and behind the barn, where I directed him to dump the load of rock.
  
We plan to remove the mulch in the flower beds, put down a weed block fabric and then cover it with the rock a little at a time. I'm hoping that this will be better than putting down new mulch every spring.
