My back yard was almost fully fenced when I bought my house, but the fence wasn't connected to the house.

After one too many "where's the dog?" episodes, I finally closed things in. I thought a "basketweave" fence would be appropriate to my mid-century house, and I also liked the fact that it ...»
is considered a "good neighbor" fence because there isn't a "bad side." The "weave" on this type of fence is usually horizontal, but I came across a photo of a vertical weave and showed it to my contractor. Because he was building the fence he could also build the gate to match, resulting in a seamless look. I've gotten a lot of "I've never seen a fence like that" comments, and could not be happier with the result (although I predict staining it is going to be a pain in the you know what).

  • A secret garden, design borrowed from nature; a fern frond. 2
  • Entering the secret garden as the fern frond becomes visible. 3

A secret garden that we designed and installed for a client.

The guest enters the secrete garden along the stem, and the fern frond is the focal point of the small space. A mixture of evergreen and deciduous ferns were planted around the garden.

I'm new to this site, and decided to post pictures of the things that keep me busy .

I like to garden and love repurposing "anything", like the compass you'll see here that I made from an old concrete septic tank cover. Pics that follow are some of my outdoor projects: ...»
made a bottle tree, a fish pond, grew and dried birdhouse gourds, made raised gardens, painted an old bench, painted rug onto my deck, harvested 40' bamboo, cured them and made a trellis, made a peaceful walking/sitting area in the woods out back. I'm a DYI'er that began as a financial necessity and grew into a passion.......By the way, if you haven't talked to the great people at Four Season Nursery yet, or shopped for mulch, gravel and plants, you're missing an opportunity. They are knowledgeable and dependable. My husband just smiles at me and hates to leave me the truck...he knows I'm going there for a load of something.
