The Fish boys did a lot of landscaping this summer! Every summer, Brodie has 3 months off of school and works for his dad and brother who own the landscaping company Shovel & Thumb LLC. Even though it's the hottest part of the year, Brodie absolutely loves working with his two brothers (Cohan and Durant) and his dad every day. Not only do they work contracted job, but on weekends they work together on family projects and even participated in the Hardscape North America regional competition!
One weekend project included installing a french drain - which essentially meant digging a trench around the entire Fish farm house. This was dug to redirect water away from the basement, which had been previously flooding every wet season.

Last year Shovel & Thumb competed in the regional HNA competition and placed third. Brodie acted as the "coach" while Brian and Cohan were the ones physically laying pavers. This year, Brodie and Brian swapped roles, and Brodie worked hard in the heat to cut and lay pavers. This competition consisted of 10 teams from the Northwest region and took place in Lacey, WA.
packed up and ready to hit the road!
at the competition - this is a patio (and wall) they constructed in only 45 minutes!
In round 2, they had 90 minutes to design their own patio, which you can see below with a wall and fire pit. Overall, they got second place!!!
