I'm going to have to do most of it myself, I guess. Because I just can't find anyone who'll do it and do it well and who has an insurance certificate. I guess the ones with insurance don't want to mess with small jobs. (Big to me, small to a landscape company I guess.)
So I'm scaling back the garden considerably. I'm going to put up a trellis about a foot from the fence all around, and plant scent bearing vines. Then I'm going to plant scent bearing trees a few feet in front. And that's it on the two sides. In the back, I'll try to plant some scent bearing and flowering shrubs as well. I'm in the mood for sweet smells.
I think I'll remove the blocks under my water faucets and try my hand at putting down concrete. And I'm going to try to get my waterfall to the left of my patio up and working. I'm also thinking of putting a small fountain to the right of my patio, on the concrete part I'm going to make under the faucet (because the drip is washing away the soil).
What do you guys think? Is that sensory overkill? Two sounds of running water and a backyard of almost nothing but strongly scented plants (not flowering all at once, I hope).
