But if they are willing and able, and the resources are available to support the effort, there's little these guys can't do. And, of course, the crews are the hands and backs that actually do it, and with good direction they can literally move mountains!Laura Livengoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101658363604076352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213339149669405453.post-74632238398961624582010-05-11T02:48:10.982-07:002010-05-11T02:48:10.982-07:00This looks amazing!

I love how it is both "architectured" and "horticultured" and think the two perfectly complement one another. Bravo to the designers, homeowners and installers. No equipment?
