Viewed from deck & house the existing lower garden, above, leads to their wild wood.

They hired me to design their landscape. Of course I left this alone! Tweaks could be made but out goes THEIR charm.

And, they built this DIY !

An example of leaving the good alone, in the existing checkerboard and rock work being left; that dark rock is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat to know when NOT to change anything.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view. And I bet the sound of the fountain from the deck is delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see these checkerboard affairs, I always wonder about how much work they demand, keeping the grass trimmed around each square. So I am happy to see that even when someone doesn't get all anal about it, the effect is still charming.
I am sure whatever you do Tara it will only enhance and refine the entire landscape!
ReplyDeletebreathtaking! what a great idea and view
