About This Space

This is my backyard in Colorado Springs. The ground here is hard as a rock and I often had to use a jack hammer to break it up! And then it only turns to clay once wet. But over a 6 year period I've managed to add a pond and stream; plant trees and lots of flowers and even learned how to set posts so I could build a pergola and gazebo! Thanks to the help of the how-to guides on HGTV!

You did a great job! Looks like you could probably do this for a living if you so chose.
