We have been sitting on a landscape design for our home that Michael Schultz drew up for us a year ago, a landscape designer that I have worked closely with for the past 15 years.
After returning from the Redwoods we decided it was time dig into the back yard (the plan calls for a complete redo of the front and back). No more Cobbler syndrome.
The irrigation was completely revamped adding three new valves to cover all the new plantings, the drainage system extended 150 feet, no more bogs (fingers crossed). 40 yards of very good soils behind the new retainer wall and extended planting areas. New garden, new look... Very exciting, now we have a garden/landscape that is as nice as my clients.
You may remember the old back yard, other than the great perennials Pam had planted above that ugly cinder block wall, the arbor and slate patio I had made years ago, it had much to be desired. Needless to say we have no intention of ever moving!
We have saved a lot of the best perennials at my shop so if anyone wants them please let us know.
Wow... Looks great Ben. Really nice job.... Bill
