Backyard Rock Garden

Landscape Solutions : Episode LSL-406 -- More Projects »
The challenge in this project is to tame a steep slope, create a unique focal point and utilize the dark shady area under a porch. We meet those challenges by building a curving stone stairway, creating a rock grotto and bog garden, and fashioning a beautiful shade garden in what was otherwise wasted space.
