Really nice job, I’m going to make something very similar for my wife in the near future, it’s going to be a surprise for her I’m not sure how much of it I will be able to hide until she finally gets curious enough to investigate what’s taking up all my free time, I know I’ll only be able to get a small fraction done before curiosity gets the best of her but I believe I can get about 25% to maybe 1/2 of it finished before she busts me, I am so excited about this project which is probably still a year away because I am doing a major remodel of this house inside and out and her project will have to wait until I get the important stuff done first, but these videos of yours are a big inspiration and thank you for sharing them I’ll probably watch all of them, 😊 thanks.

Perfection. So well done. New subscriber, just come across your channel courtesy of You Grow Girl channel. The craftsmanship is exquisite. The breaking down of the sloped gardens to various rooms a joy to see. The zen garden is my favourite, together with that view from the conservatory. Such neat lines, clean angles. A calming vibe with so many different views. The planting with the beautiful paths works so well together with the hard landscaping. I'm a palmy, exotic-style garden guy but your amazing garden makes me appreciate that cool chilled-out ordered Japanese vibe. Full marks and so well done 👏👏👏
