what would you do differently?

Would you have planted more trees for more shade or relocated some to get more sun?

Planted less of one thing and more of another?

Installed more trellises/arbors for climbing plants?

Planted more deer/gopher/mole resistant plants?

Added a water feature?

Planted more "living fences" to block out views of neighboring properties?

Increased or decreased the size of your deck, courtyard or terrace?

Added an outdoor fireplace or fire pit?

Installed awnings?

I'd have made beds deeper but no more than 8' deep. I'd have made wider paths so two people could walk side by side to view the gardens. I'd have hidden all hose outlets.

While I love how the terrace came out I would have liked it about 2' wider at the end with the table.
