Up the Terrace Stairs

I climb the stone garden stairs on this tiered garden wall to the sound of buzzsaws (they stop eventually!). Add your house and garden video tours to www.design2share.com, the Where I Live video-sharing website. Subscribe to the Design2Share Q&A weekly podcasts for help with your design questions.

@BalconyOasis Thanks - and thanks for watching!

Hello from Ukraine! In our country a landscape design as early as young age and climate is severer, therefore we study by your videos. Thank you, for you wonderful gardens.

@royalty341 Thanks for watching - and have a beautiful day in the lovely Ukraine (we would love to visit your country some day!).

The only thing I can think of is SPIDERS!

[westend104]

There definitely are spiders out here in the country, but they aren't too bothersome, unless you dig around in the leaves by the foundations of outbuildings -- then you can get a large wolf spider or two. I've been surprised by a few of them, but nothing bad. Thanks for watching! Best, Jay

I'm building something like this in my garden here in NW CT. We're built into a hillside, a fairly modest incline and we're lucky enough to have a little flat area of about 1/4 acres, about 50 ft up from the level of the house, which is where I want to built a little terrace like the one you show here. We're also quite lucky to have an abundance of Granite slabs, which will save us thousands on steps and patio.

I'll be happy if my project turns out half as charming as this one. 5 Stars :)

Thanks for watching, Taylor! It would be fun to eat up on the terrace, overlooking the rest of the yard, wouldn't it?

Sorry about that! The noise was extensive yard work being done up the hill from this house -- lots of tree cutting, trimming, and chipping. It's funny, but we got so used to it that afternoon that after awhile we didn't notice it! Thanks so much for watching! Best, Jay
