It's beautiful. Your lawn looks like a public garden.

@Lilysmom1  Gorgeous garden Smiley HappyHeart!! Wow- you have done such a great job taking care of your plants and each corner has such visual interest. I love the Evergreen Hill and the before and after of the hydrangeas. Great statues, plants, grass mowing, and pathways all throughout your garden.  I also really like your use of gravel, stones and big rocks in your garden too- it really makes the colors of the green plants pop. You've created a wonderful garden experience. The seahorse statue is such a fun touch Smiley Happy.  Thank you for posting your garden photos!

Wow...spectacular @Lilysmom1!

 

Gorgeous hydrangeas (one of my favorites...I mean, who DOESN'T love hydrangeas?!), and the angels, pretty statuary and garden accent decor, all so pretty.

 

As someone else said here, this really does look like a public park. So beautiful. You must really enjoy your surroundings. Takes a lot of time, money, care...but a lot of payoff. Tks for sharing!

@SportyShorty07 I live in Nova Scotia, not that far from Peggy's Cove.  We are called the granite coast for good reason.  For those rocks we can't move, we incorporate into the landscape.
