The upside of the #EvilMasterPlan & #GardenMakeover is that most of the trees & shrubs are brand new. Thereβs very little from which to shake loose the snow yet! #PortlandintheSnow
That did the trick! For some reason the irrigation system connections and controls were originally hidden front & center atop the retaining wall at the sidewalk. Canβt really effectively camouflage the thing much with shrubs or other plants at that awkward spot. Easy access for the periodic backflow inspections that are required is needed. A realisticly painted fiberglass boulder now covers the attraction. You can hardly tell itβs a fake. It blends right in.
