Katy: Not to rain on Doug Green's parade -- I have his book, Landscape
Magic and it's a good one -- there's another book you might also find useful.
It's Landscape Rejuvenation: Remodeling the
Home Landscape by Bonnie Lee Appleton (Garden Way Publishing). It's also
available used at Amazon.com for a very low price. See http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0882664964/qid=1085352747/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/102-2171357-4709721?v=glance&s=books&n=507846#product-details
My husband and I have renovated a couple of landscapes. It's huge
amount of work but the 'after' has been very rewarding. My advice: Hire some
brawny young muscles to help you out if you can, or a someone to operate a
Bobcat machine if you need to go that far. For all those stumps, there is a
machine you can rent called a stump grinder, which is easier than digging them
out. (Or hire a tree service to do it.) You have to get locates done first: you
don't want to run into phone lines or, worse, electrical or gas lines.
As you know, gardens are never done...
Cheers and good luck, Yvonne Cunnington

bulldozers!), see
