From Sloping Lawn to a Backyard Oasis

Our formerly un-useable backyard was transformed last fall into an oasis of plantings and patios. We can now entertain guests in multiple areas and enjoy the sounds of nature and of soothing running water while doing so. To see more photos of the transformation, please visit the link below.

    This is simply beautiful. Wow. I would guess that it tremendously adds to your living space because I would spend a lot of time outdoors just enjoying the sights and sounds!

    Thanks to all who have viewed this post and commented both here and through the blog. We are truly enjoying our yard and I'm gradually learning how to be a "gardener." LOL
