Hello, my name is Vicki Joseph and I am the owner of this website, yardsurfer.com, a website on everything to do with backyard landscaping. I have been involved in landscaping design for many years now specializing in new gardens and in renovating old gardens. This website is the culmination of my experience over my lifetime.
I have made this website a well-rounded authority on the topic of creating and maintaining your backyard. I have filled it with informative articles and resources that will help you develop and care for every aspect of your yard.
The site is very easy to navigate through and to find exactly what you need, very quickly. Please use the easy search function or simply browse the many topic tabs to find the answers to questions you may not realize you need.
Whether you are interested in organic gardening, sustainable gardening practices, installing and maintaining a pre-formed pond, constructing fencing and pathways or any other backyard landscaping topic, you will find exactly what you need here.
I hope you have fun going through this enormous amount of information and I wish you the best of luck in building your own backyard haven, Vicki Joseph
