Thanks, the house is over 100 years old and took 10 years to make it livable. There's about 40 tons of stone in the backyard and around the koi pond.Nice yard and neighborhood.

Thanks. My wife is the master gardener and she wanted a backyard with Japanese undertones ( hence the koi pond and river stone paths ). I thought why not finish the look with bonsai.Nice yard and neighborhood.

You don't need less trees ( just much bigger yard ).I built a fourth bench

And I still need to reduce how many trees I have
Could make the bench tippy because it's so top heavy?
Oustanding! #2 looks like a Japanese garden shoe in. I took a chance and removed a deck railing and turned it into a bench.
Hope to add more single stands to my back yard this year as well. Yours turned out great.
No. If I must stare at this every day then I'm going to do it right and with materials and style that bring me joy
@Giga that’s my plan. Thanks!
To acquire some JBP, Bristlecone, Mugo, Scots, Western Hemlock, and Douglas-fir seedlings in reasonable quantities and prices I had to purchase them in bulk. Many will go to buyers and mentorship programs through BSOP
What kind of pavers did you use for the patio? Do you have any pics of your whole set up? Is that a garden shed under the roof or the back of the house?
Thanks!
My landlord was responsible for the basics of the setup (I’m renting a 750 square foot, 1-bedroom house with a 500 square foot patio). The pavers are 2 feet square and about 2 inches thick. They appear to be a concrete aggregate. The roof provides a shielded patio space along the back of the house.
I would recommend getting rid of all your meh material and concentrate on the stuff you really want to keep and put time into. As you progress you going to get better tree's and develop the ones you have. At some point your going to want to reduce some of the saplings and stuff you have. Great benches btw

I have also added brackets and shelves to my fence as well. Yours seem custom made for that?I built my third bench! It's a duplicate of the second.
Tada!
