I really appreciate all of the comments and suggestions. But this thread ain't over yet. Now we have to put the cherry on the top.

Dean, we would love to see some photos!

As I had said earlier the budget for the landscaping was around B150,000. Let's add anothe B50,000 and I think we will be there. Here are a few photos of the recent progress. Will get an update this weekend.

Here is a view from my front porch. One big problem that I see now. I forget to have undergrounding wire laid for lights along the walkway.



A closer look. The plan is to have the monks come this weekend so we can finish installing the spirit house.
