Wow!! those are beautiful! I'd love to see some pics of the whole thing all together. I bet your yard is amazing and quite relaxing. You should run a spa or something, :lol:

(More stunning pics from Terryo...my jaw is just hanging open after she sent me these...absolutely incredible!)

My son did this whole yard for me my himself. He hired two workers to help him. I am very proud of him. Thought you would like to see it. When he started there was nothing here but dirt.You don't have to post it. I just wanted to show someone. Thank you.

Your son is only 18?? :shock: Does he do this professionally? That is really amazing! I've seen seasoned landscapers who couldn't even come close to this kind of beauty and they would still probably charge $100K for it! Man, he's good. :cool:

I didn't know if you were supposed to put pictures of yards and things on this board.
My son (18 year old) didn't do it. My other son who is 38 did it. He doesn't do landscaping. He owns a tile business. He is very artistic. I showed him some pictures from building books, and he made a drawing and then did it for me. He really doesn't do outside work....right now he is doing a hospital in NY. My husband didn't want to do it because it would cost so much and we didn't really have all that but my son wouldn't take any money and just hired two men to help him. That is why it took so long. I had to wait until he didn't have work. I have 5 sons....I guess that is how I got into turtles and pets. Thank you for all the compliments. It means a lot to me.

Great shots. You've got some lovely ponds. :D Is that water lettuce in there? It's really doing well.

Thank you. I am very lucky to have this yard. After years of saving and raising 5 boys. I will probably be siting out there in the snow this winter.....just siting.
