I love the way your garden is designed and planted. The lasagna method is a great way to achieve this. Instead of digging, you learn to raid dumpsters for cardboard! Or, I have asked the local hardware stores who sell refigierators for dibbs on the cardboard containers their refrigerators come in. I shred junk mail and put it under the cardboard. I am always short on mulch though. Im looking for tree cutters with a chipper. I did find a ready source of stepping stones--I found a dump of cracked up concrete. The pieces are just right for making a rustic path--and handling the concrete pieces gives you a total body work out besides!

Whaaaaaaa !! I also used newspaper thick layers.
We were lucky with cardboard ,the kitchen was just remodles and cupboards came packed in big boxes.

When world gives you lemons, make lemonade! When the world gives you cardboard, make a lasagna garden!

Absolutely.

I did a large garden like this a number of years ago. I DID lift sod just to give the garden a clean edge but not at all under most of it. (Nor did I dig out all the violets in the lawn). I used thick layers of newspaper. There are pictures at: http://violaann.smugmug.com/Ga...

That is ambitious and looks great.
