I love it all and am seething with jealousy over the pool/cave combo. Bravo.

Thanks for all the kind comments, ya'll. On what we planted, again, things don't tend to thrive in the clay, but we did plant a lot of New Zealand Flax, which did a good job of breaking up the clay. Also, my husband is rather Type A, so he didn't mind mowing the grass with our little rotary mower and then getting the edges with a weedwhacker, but three years later, even he has grown tired of maintaining it so I'm actually out the door right now to see if I can find a low maintenance ground cover to replace the sod between the pavers.

Also, I was remiss in mentioning in my story that the inspiration for this redo was a design that was created for us by a very talented (and handsome) landscape designer friend of ours, John Hykes, who occasionally does design work for people in the area in his down time from his regular job. So if you're looking for some help...John's the man!

Are winners picked at random or do I reallllllly have to kiss ass to get this thing free for my husband?

We just finished a big backyard project. Stuff's already growing! We could use these...hooray!
