.
That's over 4,000 lbs of rocks. I designed it and bought all the rocks. Anne Marie bought and placed all the plants, and Willie, our handyman did all the heavy lifting. We've been working this for six months and I'm kind of proud of the result. I'll post (much) better pics after we've fully figured out our new Nikon 3400. Stay tuned.

Looks good. You're neighbors must hate rain with a sloping driveway like that straight towards the house.

He built a little runoff system to backyard vegetation. I don't know how well it works. The problem with his driveway is that tree roots have uplifted whole sections of concrete slab. I've tripped and fallen on my ass twice.

The next earthquake should set them back in just fine.
