I LOVE all the terracing! It makes 100% use of the land you have, and shows everything off beautifully.

Being that this house sits on top of a hill, I've got the multi level thing going on too. The slopes are gradual and soft, so I haven't had need to install any terraces yet, although as I expand I have been plotting a few.

You can tell in this pic how I was looking uphill, and the various level of same height plants show. I'm not even half way through spring clean up, so please forgive all the dead stems still hanging around. We just got the first mowing of the year done, and it had gotten so high I've got piles of thatch everywhere too. Our riding mower had a couple of issues to deal with before we could get it done in time.
