Thank you Arif!
The garden reflects my personality, I like things orderly and uncluttered. I am a great-grandmother and the kids live in a different province so we don't get to see them too often. We are pet free, decided not to get another after our old dog passed 6 years ago. I like the park look of the yard which my neighbor described as "a peaceful green oasis". The slope will remain as is, too much work for my DH and I to terrace and would cost many dollars to have it done by pros.
