Beginner Gardening: Front yard / corner lot needs help for British pocket garden, 0 by Twincol

Now then, the path from the street/gutter to the sidewalk is near completion. Step up and over these, noting the pile of dirt which needs to be hauled off, and walk under the arbor. The arbor has a climbing rose and clematis, described above, to welcome visitors. At the arbor there will be a step up with the pavers affixed to the concrete all the way to the wall and steps up to the landing at the front door.

Please follow me west, to your left, toward the other street on my corner and the side of the house.

You've reached the most south-west corner of the house/front yard. As you round the corner you'll see the walk toward the fence/gate into my backyard patio. I laid my clay pavers last weekend, 40-odd of them, on the path toward that gate. Note in the upper left corner then vine fence ends about 4-5 feet from the concrete fence. Also last weekend, I set out the second archway-arbor, identical to the one you walked under as you moved toward the house above.

I must tell you that laying the pavers and putting out the arbor left me breathless. That's it, I told myself! That's it! I see my skeleton, laid out fully, visible, clearly displaying my ideas. Can you see it? CAN YOU SEE IT?? Isn't it amazing how performing a single hardware, hardscape task can tie everything else all together? Breathless is the only term that truly describes how I felt as I first saw it from a distance across the street. There it is! I SEE it!!!

An awesome experience.

I'll show you in the next two pics.
