Wow, what a great job. Love the look of that stone and step. Had you ever done anything like that before? Looks like a pro job. :P

Update!

Here it is this morning. Most of the perennials are in, plus a few 'Elvis lives' hosta. I'll add some more hosta today, mulch it, and be done (until I change it again)!

For a Hosta Designer, you're a little shy of hosta and a lot heavy on flowering perennials. Well, OK, it does look great but you've got too much grass and only 2 hosta in that picture. :lol:

:lol: They're coming! I planned on finishing it this weekend, but it didn't happen. The hostas I want to plant in there aren't up far enough in my seedling bed yet, so I can't tell which ones to move! The side closest to the house is the sunny side, so it's mostly perennials, the other side will be hostas and shade perennials. 8-)
