I planted several trees in areas where I believed they would be best and still be out of the way for work crew, before anything else was done except the laneway carved out of the hillside. The only level area is the about 2 acres where the house is located.

Here are some pictures of the next year the top photo is southwest of the house, after the small area of lawn is growing . I have two small approx. 50 x 50feet sections of lawn, one in the front and one in the back.

Middle photo is of area back of house where i tried to establish a little meadow garden, it was not satisfactory so now that area is my woodland garden.

Since there were no trees, one of the first things to be built was my lattice shade house. I still use it but now the trees have grown so much that there is too much shade.
