Still Landscaping

We truely didnt realise how long it takes to do all  the landscaping, very hard work but also very gratifying, we finished down our off side last weekend, we will start the front retaining wall this weekend, i actually bought our first plants yersterday,, hope they live with all the wind we,ve had, the concrete diveway was partially pulled up and will b re poured this week sometime, thats why the frontwall is only being done now, they will also have to come back and colour tint it,alot darker,,they couldnt have got it so wrong if they tried to ,,,not happy,here r todays pics

Up, down lights installed
