[net.garden] landscaping

marc (03/28/83)

 Time for culture shock - Being a Brooklynite (where a garden is
roughly 10ft x 10 ft) I have just bought a home in Bridgewater, NJ
with about an acre of land.  Its mostly flat and grass covered.

Question 1: Should I be thinking about a riding mower?  I have no
desire to spend many hours every Saturday morning pushing a mower.  

Question 2: I am interested in landscaping a good portion of the land.
It is split 1/3 in front of home, 2/3 behind.  Nice tall trees around
perimeter.  I would welcome any sugestions, pointers to books, other
examples of landscaped homes, etc.

Thanks, mail to me, unless you think there might be enough interest
to spark some interactions.
