I want a pergola.  In fact, I want to modify the existing deck to make it more square, add a pergola to the now bedroom 'to be library', and then add a network of paths and pergolas that take you out to the garage where it will tie into a dining area pergola.  No problem!  (Btw... we plan on turning our now garange into 1/3 outdoor kitchen/dining area and 2/3 wood workshop.)
Welcome to my winter.
I'm in design phase right now, but I'm pretty excited to have a blank slate, which I see as a world of landscaping opportunity.  I'm reviewing books now, and hope to turn my garden into a mixture of tradition, Japanese, and function.  I'm going for some pretty awesome water features in this yard.  In fact, I want one large pond, a creek, and a water fall/water tumbling rock feature.  I want the waterfall near the dining area that way you'll have the audible pleasure while you're enjoying yourself.  I plan on having a path that forges the creek, and I want the 'bridge' to be made out of stepping stones.  I want you to have to interact with this landscape, which means watching and paying attention.  Stay tuned for more design ideas.
