In spring of 2002, we designed a landscape for our back yard on a steep upward slope covered with brush. We planned a 30-foot waterfall with terraces, paths, rock retaining walls, and lights. After numerous attempts to find a courageous landscaper, we discovered that Hilltop Landscape Co. could help us build our vision. 27 tons of rock later, the work was triumphantly finished in June. Here are some highlight pictures and time-lapse animation:
