Garden Design: Use Axis to Site Stone Steps

Where, below, to put fieldstone steps, gathered on site, into the slope?


Fieldstone steps on a sweet slope in a meadow are both focal point and invitation.


At the crest of the slope, above, I face the house where every axis faces my eyes, front porch, side door, windows, back porch.
.
There, will be the digging-in of field stone steps.
.
The more entry ways a garden has the better a garden is.  The more axis a focal point has the better the focal point.
.
Those air conditioners?  Not a problem.
.
Solved that, below, at another client's.  Will do the same lapboard 'fencing', above.  Panels are removable.  Life is good with custom carpentry.  Better with a garden you adore around your home.

Same garden as previous post.

I know what meadows are, aside from status symbol.  A gift from Providence.  From a meadow, crops & livestock for our survival.  Free for the taking.  Toil?  Hardly.  In the process of taking from the land we are given metaphors for life.  Providence does speak.

For a beautiful garden & home filling you with joy, become my client, local/on-line.
