She Goundation of a Landscape is tts Grading; ; 
the Finishing oiches arent Masonry 

Good garden masonry is coming 
into its own in this country. Walks, 
walls, seats, pools, arbors, fireplaces, 
and terraces are some of the struc- 
tures that will add interest to your 
landscape. 
The variety of stone and brick 
available in this territory gives us a 
wealth of material with which to 
work. 
Swain Nelson Nurseries carefully 
select and buy stone at the source, 
in carload lots. A variety of this se- 
lected stone is always on hand for 
either rustic or highly finished effects, 
and trained landscape masons are 
retained the year around. 
A well constructed grade must be pleasing 
to the eye and must provide proper drainage. 
Whether the grading involves the building 
of a natural, rolling grade, or a complicated 
formal development, it must be properly done 
to avoid costly later changes. 
Swain Nelson's excellent earth moving equip- 
ment with experienced operators are at your 
command for this work.
