As some of you guys know I bought my first home in November of last year. I have since spring embarked on my first attempt at doing landscaping.
I set up 3 flower beds and went from there. The grass, another story altogether. Here are some pics:       |

Looks great Tim. Can you get a shot of all three beds from the street and the house to see what you see. Did you have to do soil amendment? Your land has some nice contours to work with. What kind of grass does well there?

Looks like a great plan, tim. A shot from the street would be cool. And did you plant a butterfly garden?

What! No benches to see and watch the butterflies?
What else do you have planned for the future? Is the gap between the horizontal beds for putting in a swimming pool  Very nice, Tim, you can come help me after you finish helping Yoda.
