KyWoods, mine was covered in poison ivy until late last summer when the project was started. Yes this has all been done in less than 10 months, all the path and rock work, all the planting and mulching. During the tour everyone said what a lot of work it was and I just replied that it's not work if you enjoy it! They kept asking how many YEARS it took me to complete it and I just laughed at their expressions when I told them how new it actually was. Here's another pic of the before looking between the pine trees leading into the woodland area

Debbie, yes that's the same slope, only a little more sparse! Praise from you means a lot to me considering the pics I’ve seen of your gardens. I WILL see them in person.

Judy, thank you for the compliments! Yes I am quite proud of it and love showing it off. The Garden Tour group has already said they want to come back in a few years when it matures.

Cindy, yes I love the blue bench also. The hardest thing about the whole project was finding new places to sit, relax and just enjoy the view while constructing it. Every time I'd complete a section, I'd find a new favorite place to sit!!!
