Checked in on this new garden today, the corten steel retaining walls will be magic when they weather, and when the furniture finally arrives, #supplychainissues , the patio will be the perfect place to watch the kids ride their bikes and hang out with the neighbors! #retainingwallsteel #beforeandafter #frontgardendesign
