Mean while there still work in the back yard going on. Had a problem with the fire pit, they finished, and we realized the top didn't have equal overhang on all sides..wtf? Ended up the paving crew didn't leave the circle perfectly round, and a different Company that did the real stone work, didn't say anything and just built it anyway..
They actually had to come back and tear it all down and do it over again.. stupidity seemed to rule some days.. We also had a corner we weren't sure what to do with, but the 11 year old came up with a koi pond idea. We were skeptical at first, but it's one of our favorites now.
another screw up.. care to guess?
Might not seem little a big thing to some, but after I had told them a few times what we wanted, they did it wrong anyway. And my wife rarely misses a detail, so I addressed before she could even say something.
We really tried to be on top of everything everyday. As everyone here can attest to, if it can go wrong, it will. We didn't want to look back and see little details missed, or done wrong, and luckily we can say there are only one or two in the whole project we regret.
Meanwhile in comes, I don't know how many loads of loam. More than originally figured, of course..
Along with enough plants to put me at the top of the local garden centers favorite list.. then they start planting, and planting.
We also added irrigation to the yard. I must say I was worried since we're on a well, and I poured a LOT of water in it all the past couple of months, but everything has been fine.

Truly an unbelievable space you have created. The landscape flows so nicely to different focal points and gathering areas.
