I feel like that is neither a rock garden or a sense of a retaining wall 😂. It’s great and I like it. But you’ve used rocks to create a wall to hold in enough dirt to plant vegetation.

What blue fescue are those little guys and how old are they? I want something that will stay about that size for a future project.

Looks nice, but what happens after some heavy rain or snow melt?

Love it! This is much prettier than a retaining wall. I bet your client is thrilled with the result.

Beautiful. I did something similar with my whole backyard. My dog dug under every rock looking for lizards. I had a constantly shifting landscape,

This would not work in my tropical zone, that is for sure. Looks great nonetheless!

And usually much nicer than a shitty concrete wall out of blocks. There is a place for retainer walls but far too overused for landscape purposes. I like what you did. Moreover grade shifts in the landscape are often desirable for aesthetic effect. People are obsessed with levelness way too much. I understand that some people want to play along or sports lawn, that’s fine but some of the stuff I see on here that is being retained would be better off left alone or with granite or natural stone.
I live in New England in the middle of lots of Rock, lots of granite and lots of creativity needed to massage the undulating landscape. Enhance it not redo it

Theres literally retaining walls. Looks nice. Incorporating a stream flowing down to a small pond or just disappearing into a buried basin at the end would be amazing.

Love this!
Is this something you could design virtually and I could have installed?

Lovely! I’ve been looking at some interesting vertical rock gardens too, and might do a combination of both.

That is quite a bit more than a rock garden. It is a garden with some rocks too. Very nice too!
