A picture of my front garden, what do you think?

Hi,
A picture of the front garden here. We did this ourselves a couple of years back. What do you think?

I like what you've done--it's carefully landscaped and makes the space look 'seriously' cared for. It's giving me an idea of what I could do with my 3 car parking area and the back of my house, but I'd have to use something other than sod in the middle since it will be setting on top of about 4' of gravel.

Personally I'd go with a lot less rock and a lot more garden.

It's an interesting space. I really like the circular garden design. :D

Is that a cherry tree in the center? I'm picturing that it would provide an intimate feel to the circle as it matures and supply the vertical and overhead elements. In addition, the fallen flower petals carpeting the lawn should be spectacular. 8)

...with lovely white blossoms. It is quite a bit bigger now and just about to bloom so I will try and get a fresh picture and put it up when that happens. Thanks for your comments.
