Instead of using string for your layout of garden beds, water hoses works amazing for the curves of the garden.

The yard looks amazing. However shoveling all that stone out doesnt look like such a good time. The finished product is well worth the effort I would say.

Consider a metal or aluminum edging product to keep the gravel from creeping into the turf. Permaloc professional aluminum is a good choice.

I would worry a bit about that much limestone leaching and killing plants. (too alkaline) Luckily you did the fabric which should help.

Looks great! I am dubbing next year the summer of front yard landscaping project. Thanks for the inspiration. My joint is more 1950 than mod but I like the bonsai idea.

We priced out some chico (white) rock, and we're saving up to rock a dirt pile in our front yard and 1/3 of our back yard. Your project looks really good. Jealous.

Dude- I am the biggest proponent of rock gardens for MCM landscaping. I lucked out with a line on river pebbles and got around the same amount for my place. They are the definition of low maintenance gardening. You did a stellar job. I had a buddy developing some land and got some boulders to place "here" and "there". You know, as accent pieces. Congrats! It looks gorg.

Wow, looks amazing. Just one thing. You most likely need to leave some space around the trunks of your tree. Trees become unhappy with dirt or mulch heaped up around their base. Unhappy trees are usually not the prettiest. Might need some kind of collar to hold back the gravel from the trunk.
