    Hi there,
    I am looking into redoing my backyard and I figured coming online to look for some good ideas was the way to go! 8)
    I hope that I can learn a lot of helpful hints and tips from the forum and although I am not a very experienced landscaper, maybe I will be able to help one of you in whatever questions that may come up.
    Looking forward to a good forum experience!

    Hi again everyone,

    I just wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome!! and that I am well on my way to becoming a real landscaper!

    Yesterday (I had the day off from work) I put in two square flower beds around my driveway at the start with a nice assortment of annuals
    ... I have pictures but I dont know how to upload them.

    Im also making a nice picnic area in the back yard. Im going to try to set up a white pergola with ivy growing on the top to make some nice shade for my family. What do you guys think?
