Looks like a fun space -- love the curving wall.

OMG!!! I'm soo glad I followed your link...after seeing all the work that had to be accomplished before planting, I was actually tired for you!!

HOW LONG did this project take you? That's was quite an undertaking! I like what you did with the curved wall.. it is so appealing. What a restful place to languish on a summer day!

Thanks for sharing. It's quite lovely, Melati.

Yes, thanks for sharing. I love the lay out, curves and terraces. It will be so much better for seeing your hosta than in my big flat back yard. And a nice viewing area as well. Hope you continue with us here at the forum.

I love the curving shape. That's really going to be stunning when everything has grown up. You're fortunate to have such a nice, large piece of land. Boy, if I had that much room there'd be no stopping me! We'd definitely have to take out a second mortgage (lol).

Thanks :)
Lol Jo... Yes I was tired too... Its a big project to moved every piece of rock and stacked where I wanted them, it has been over a month and i think I'm done moving the rocks around for the season.
Flo.. We have too much maple trees to dealt with, took 2 medium size maples down and created this garden section, Now will just have to deal with the pine neeedles since no more maple roots to choke the hosta now.
Bev.. Sometimes I think should be much nicer to have a flat yard to create the garden, I had to tiers every garden because its all on the slopes... Good thing we have tons of rocks/rock walls around :)

Wow, what an accomplishment! I'm envious of that huge planting area you have. Do you have a list of hostas you will be buying to fill that in?

Great work!

I looked at your picture with the curving descending stone pattern, and I thought GREEK RUINS. An ampitheatre

But Then....I followed your link, and I am amazed at the amount of WORK that went into site prep. And, what a great machinery operator who did the work. I think it is a class act, how the slope is contoured so nicely.

And I saw the Adirondack chairs at the low side.
What I'd like to see is what it looks like from your chairs, your chosen observation point.

And....excuse me, but are you doing this without help? I see all the machines and such, but not a worker on the controls in a single picture. The magic garden! :) GREAT job.

No hosta list Terri!!! I don't usually plan ahead of time in doing project.. lol!!!
Thanks Moc.. I was looking at the end slope... could not figure out how to do a big round garden without leaving a path for my lawn tractor... maybe when I get inspiration how to do it :)
got help getting the dirt/rocks dumped on the slope other than that all done by myself.. thats why no in the middle project picture... I know its crazy lol!!!! really too much work had to be done prep'ing that garden... sure am happy its almost done now :)

This is already looking very nice and keep us all posted when you continue planting. I never really have a definite plan when building my new bed and they seem to pop into the mind as I go . Love the rocks and use of them makes for a real natural setting. I have lots of large rocks but husband uses machines to place them for me I can't run a bobcat or a backhoe but still lots of smaller rocks to make your back hurt. Fun to see it take shape. Looking forward to more pictures

Lovely space you've created. Had to go follow the link after everyone's comment. Fantastic what you've gotten done. What fun it will be to start filling all that in with plants of your choosing.
