My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Samaritan and Lower Gully

19 years ago

'Samaritan', very nice! It's fragrant, too. Behind that is Salvia 'Blue Hill' and in the upper LH corner is one out-of-focus 'Louise Clements' which is beginning to mature and is pumping out flowers like crazy.

This is a very pretty rose!

Here's the construction of the lower gully, 18 months ago.

18 months later...looking east...Pure Poetry, Ebb Tide, Apricot Nectar, a pergola...

Looking west now from below...my secluded little pergola where I can read and watch the birds and the dogs can snooze. I have a little 'Cl. Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria' growing to cover the pergola, and clematis Venosa Violacea for the posts, but for now there is shadecloth. When all the plants around the pergola mature, it will be pretty lush. Salvia is growing so I can watch all the hummingbirds feeding and see the bees in the roses, and enjoy the lizards sunning themselves on the walls. I have some work left to do there by the lowest wall. Probably will move the HT's-for-cutting there and make the HTs-for-cutting area into a veggie garden. Oh dear it's going to be rough work though moving them though. They're huge. But I don't want to throw them out.
