I'm so excited, I just had to share. After completing most major redo's in the house, we are finally starting to tackle the outside. I'm going to keep this thread updated thru completion of the work.
A Bit of Background about the Landscaper
Eighteen years ago, I was a divorcee and bought my first house. It was new construction and the backyard was a patch of grass. Only one person in my town was willing to take on such a small job. Bob knew my budget was limited so he did all of the work himself. Did a fabulous job and I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Fast forward to now and I really wanted Bob again but thought he'd retired. Not so. I called him, he remembered me, we met to sketch out a plan, and away we go. He's 71 yrs young and can outlast the Energizer Bunny.
Before -- weedy grass and boring green stuff. He's building raised planting beds, raised veggie beds, installing a waterfall and greenhouse, adding a parterre, uplighting, new irrigation, hand-built stone bench, gravel paths. There will be stone walls edging the raised planting beds.
