The retaining wall is beginning to be installed as well as the outline for my cobble stone patio. I have two areas due to the stair structure - this area is perfect for the smaller ones - can have one of those cute kid picnic tables. The bottom photo shows where the entry way is if you come through the fence gate from the street

The 25 ft flower garden bed that is along the side of the garage. The pathway from the flower bed to the fence will be flagstone patio and washed rock. I took this photo around 7:30pm - but is basically gets sun all day long. Will need to ask my gardening pros - what flower loves the sun

The 17ft flower garden bed that is in front of my bedroom window - I must say, I am so glad that I went with the brick frame over the wood - it compliments the cobble stones and definitely low maintenance as with wood you would need to replace one day.
