Thanks all! I am proud to say I designed and built the place myself. The the overall layout, the DG trails, the trellis, all the tree and shrub selection - all the manual labor. I started on it about 17 years ago. Took about 10 years to get it to completion (there was the front as well). Although it still requires tending, (leaves, pruning, etc.), the last 4 or 5 years have been simply watching it grow and mature into what looks like a peaceful park. The hard work is over!
