We really did not know what the design should be, since we never had a retaining wall, but we trusted that you would know what was best.  We love the design, and it definitely demonstrates your 17+ years of experience in landscaping and design.  Also, during the project we simply mentioned that we would like gardens in specific areas, and you suggested providing garden ready soil placed and tilled right into the gardens at a price under what we could have arranged for and worked on our own.  This was an unexpected bonus to us in this project. We now have wonderful gardens for years of enjoyment to come.  Thanks.
