I'm calling this hardscape a "rough draft" though likely I won't change things too much. I'm going to try even the soil on the right side though-- not too fond of the angle. Flat would be better here I think.

This is just a preview-- somethings might change before I plant, and I'll give a better explanation when I make a real journal thread for this, but just wanted to get some initial impressions from people. Thanks for your help.

It is a forest, with the main plants being moss to make trees and bushes. I went back and forth on whether or not to include the "stream" but I felt it was valuable as it helps create a sense of perspective.

The rocks are Ohko which is pretty . . . well, it's not all that common, but it's pretty typical in a lot of asian-style scapes. Scapes using Ohko have top-10ed the ADA more than a couple times. On that note, they annoy me in being over-used. On the other hand, they lend to my idea perfectly, so I'm willing to tolerate using them. :P
