Just thought I'd add some pictures of the landscaping I recently did for a friend who builds houses in Deep Creek Lake, MD. To explain, its a Zone 6 with a very exposed slope, but it has a spectacular view of the ski slopes a few miles away. I didn't get quite as much creative control as I wanted in this project, but that's reality and I'm just happy to get to have something to add to my portfolio. Sorry its winter time and everything is leafless, I just happened to have my digital cam with me the other day when I stopped by. I hoped the plants I chose and the arangement is unique, there's nothing I hate more than the same Rhodo-Alberta Spruce-Rhodo crap..
Bear in mind I did this all by myself, so if there are any glarring problems please tell me.
Peace,
Nate
