My backyard is 70 feet long and 20 feet wide. We have 2 side yards that run along side the house. I have always wanted a backyard that was fun for entertaining, having a nice summer dinner, and to be able to enjoy some quiet reading time. I want some grass, a vegetable garden, and some color. We have a hot tub, but no pool.

I don’t know how to move koi that are that big. I woudl ask at a koi or pool business.

I do know that koi can be bruised when they get bigger so your concern is a good one.

And the new pond sounds wonderful

I have a space near the garage that I would like to make a raised bed garden in. The soil is worthless – all rock and clay.

I want to raise enough vegetables for two. My wife wants some flowers.

I grew up in the country and miss gardening an being outdoors. I have a small balcony that overlooks a hill, so the view is nice but there is no yard space available. The nearest park in 3 blocks away.

If I could make a small mini garden area I would be thrilled. The balcony has a 6 sliding door that leads to a balcony that is 4 foot by 8 or 9 foot. Sun is bright during the day

We love lush tropical landscaping. We have a beautiful new house in Houston with a small backyard. We would like to create a “Balinese” feel to our backyard which is (long and narrow) and to have an oasis that our two teenage daughters can enjoy with friends.
