Landscaping progress

We are having some landscaping done at the moment. Due to me being a week from due date the guys doing it are working like mad to get to a certain point before I kick them out. They worked through torrential rain today.
We are getting a paved path right around the house from the main deck to the laundry at the back and the posts you can see are going to be a screen fence for a bit of privacy between the downstairs bedrooms and the park. I can't wait til it's done because as you can see our house is quite stark white looking from the park and the baby cherry blossom (so small you'd have to know it was there to spot it) just isn't growing fast enough.
