Over the past two months I gave my grandparent's backyard a makeover. I kept a detailed log of events over at palm talk but I'll save you the trouble and show you the before and after pictures.

What a beautiful job! Love the palms, and really love the lotus ponds! The walkway and stonework is amazing. Congratulations. I imagine they really love it.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! Tons of work, my back is pretty much shot. My grandparents love it and spend more time outside because of it.

I've only been able to incorporate one zebrina so far, since I didn't want the palms to have to compete for root space. I will add to it over the years.
