Hi! My husband and I purchased our lovely new home approximately 2 years ago - quite excited especially when the sellers told us "Oh it doesn't get too wet here.". Hmmph! Well, should have know better since we are in a bit of a known swamp area - ha, ha! Our fault - yes, I know! Trying to work right now with a natural spring that has water in the backyard to the point where cattails grow...thoughts on digging down and then making it into more of a secluded serenity area, bog garde, willow tree or would it work to fill in with topsoil, etc?
Mind you, I'm a beginner so be kind...looking for ideas and also eye-appealing. I will try to post pics in a few days...it really is in the middle of the yard. Few trees next to it but now grown, no shade. A field was growing behind it but we brush hogged last year to cut down on bugs, etc.
I'll save the pond, the flooding , and much more for another day...thanks for any advice you might have?!
Thanks Again!
