Updates on Landscaping

The first three pictures where taken last July. This barren hillside has been a thorn in our side aesthetically since we became owners. This is where my love of landscape design gets utilized.

This is off the back porch.

This shot is taken off the veranda towards the pond.
This is looking out towards the ceremony site.

So here is the landscaping work in progress. We have created two sets of rustic stairs with a terraced flower bed in the middle (still in progress here).

This is the way most brides walk out towards the ceremony site. We wanted to make the stairs nice and wide for the times when brides are walked down the aisle by both parents.

No more climbing the bare hill. :)

This picture is taken from the veranda. Another view of the terraced flower beds.

Here is a view of the terraced patio area we are creating. The patio off the deck (where the bar is) will consist of pavers and grass that will taper off into the lawn area. We are planning on another flower bed in the very sunny spot right next to the pond walkway. It is the area that doesn't have green.

Shot of the gazing globe. This bed includes Mutabilis antique rose, columbine, bronze fennel, yarrow, nicotiana, penstemon, thyme, fleabane, lambs ear, hostas, mock orange and sweet olive.

The upper small patio will consist of pavers and river stones.

I will post pictures as everything gets finished up. I am so excited! I hope you are too.
