Lovely property! Looks like the blood, sweat and tears have been put to excellent use! :)
What a beautiful job you've done! Where do you live (state is fine)? I am looking at the beautiful greens of the grass and trees, and thinking it can't be 100 scorching degrees since you have grass!
Wow, great job!! Just Beautiful!!
thanks for the compliments. believe it or not i built every deck, planted every tree, shrub, and flower. i also hauled in every stone and placed them all myself and built the ponds and waterfalls. the wife helps a littlle, very little. landscaping isnt her thing
NY, half hour southwest of Rochester out in the country. it has rained almost everyday this summer.
Absolutely beautiful.
Very nice place!
WOW. Absolutely awesome!!
wow very lovely
Incredible! It looks like a big piece of land. How much acreage do you have? I dream of owning a big chunk of land someday.
Everything looks so pretty! You should be proud of yourself! ;D
Gorgeous shots. I envy the "yard". One problem with living in Monroe suburbia...
thanks everyone. it is 3 acres. the nice part is the neighbor on each side owns 30+ acres each so i have the benefit of few houses around me and less property to pay taxes on.
Are there fish in the pond?
If so, how do you keep it from freezing over into an ice pond and killing the fish when it snows?
yes there is fish. i made it a shallow pond so i could enjoy seeing the fish. there are 6 koi all larger than a foot and 2 goldfish that are about as big as they will get. i take them in in the winter and keep them in a horse troth in the utility side of my basement with a pump going. been doing it for a long time and they dont seem to mind.
Beautiful! Your hard work was worth it.
