Our two previous houses had beautiful gardens, one we planted all by ourselves, full of plum, apple, and cherry trees, Sharon roses, and bamboo, and the other was a lemon paradise done beautifully by the previous owners.
Let's say we didn't buy this house for the garden. It seemed the previous owners utilized only the front; it's where they had their sitting area. But in summer, it is mayhem on our street. A constant flow of people going and returning from the beach. And for me, the back garden will always be where it's at.
But this garden was just a slope, there are some trees, a fig, an olive, some oleander, but all in all it was an afterthought. The previous owners had a veggie garden there, and that was it.
So during the first lockdown, Marlon divided the slope into terraces and built a patio in the back.
Sometimes building and renovating in Italy goes slow, so to watch him build all this from scratch in record time was a real treat.
Here we go:
First you start by making the wall higher so they will support the terraces you create.
