In the vain of a Japanese Garden, we have decided to put in a dry river bed. Having dug out the bed which runs from the tap to the driveway, a few mounds were created to give pride of place to the japanese maples and the chinese elm.
After flattening the terraces, we had a pond dug out also. It sits on the lower side of the driveway so will be a good spot for all the water to run into.
