definitely need a spot for a ping pong table... i wonder if one would slip on the gravel?

Q

Photo

I like the idea of built in lights so I never again have to mess about with the cheap solar ones

Q

Photo

I like this walkway... feels so natural with the rocks and tall plants... like you're really seeing something along the way as you get to the front door

Q

Photo

I like this because it's a steep hill with varied plantings from trees, bushes, flowers that comes together well

Q

Photo

so fun

Q

Photo

I like the Mexican feather grass above as well as the moss below

Q

Photo

It would be cool if the water from the pool fell into a pond like this

Q

Photo

love the 'built-in' sandbox but the kids are probably too old for this

Q

Photo

I like the big piece of driftwood

Q

Photo

a steep hill made functional

Q

Photo

I like how the grass fills in the space between the stones... also a fan of shade gardens with ferns, etc.

Q

Photo

beautiful modern pond

Q

Photo

this is a vertical wall but I think this is pretty as ground cover as well

Q

Photo

I like the grass steps

Q

Photo

Definitely want an area in the upper back for raised bed gardening... i like the sand ground cover and covered seating as well

Q

Photo

If the steep area above is eventually built into different levels simulating different rooms, I love the idea of one of the rooms being themed around Ancient ruins like walking into a garden above the Roman Forum

Q

Photo

I really like the idea of one or two big rocks that someone can climb up and sit on

Q

Photo

nice ground cover and fountain grass

Q

Photo

i like how the big rocks serve as a wall... adds dimension to the perimeter

Q

Photo

this kind of rock reminds me of the Mediterannean

Q

Photo

innovative use of outdoor sculpture

Q

Photo

I love the idea of a small pond with some fish in it... not sure where that would go

Q

Photo

I want a pool like this built into the hillside with the water falling down to the grass area below

Q

Photo

nice seating area... could see this on the working on the side of the house

Q

Photo

cool how the hot tub fits so nicely into what is effectively a steep walkway

Q

Photo

nice hydrangeas

Q

Photo

this could be a cool transition between the 'rooms' in the steep area behind the house... i like the way the steps are built from single stones

Q

Photo

Always looking for ideas on how to make the cliff behind my house looks good.. perhaps this is an option... it's definitely clean and organized

Q

Photo

I like gravel pathways

Q

Photo

I like the way moss/succulents/low lying plants cover the dirt so a stone path is nothing but stone and green

Q

Photo

love the idea of building a guest house into the steep hill in the back and having a grass roof

Q

Photo

turning a very steep hill into something organized and plantable

Q

Photo

I like the natural colors, winding path and bush that looks like wheat
