G.A. is the crushed stones, they call it gravels, if I spell it

Right

I know people here are laughing at what I have done so far. Please if
someone can give some good advice. I am desperately looking for some
good hints.

Do I have to remove all the pebble and G.A. out of the yard? And put
back soil and sod? That could be an impossible task so far. -- Is
there any other solutions?

What is a "zen" garden in your mind? Is that going to be good? I will
have to need some ideas.

Google "zen rock garden".

In my opinion, it is very good.

In my opinion too.

Look for"A Japanese touch for your garden".

ISBN 0-87011-391-7

If you got money or know how to make things and perhaps like simple
things like driftwood.

Look for " A Japanese touch for your home".

ISBD 4-7700-1015-X

Then there is "The art of Setting Stones".

ISBD 1-880656-70-1

"Essays for the philosophical gardener (Or the gardening philosopher )
that revel the beauty and meaning of traditional Japanese gardens."
From the back cover but I'd rather weed now and propagate. Still in
winter the garden thru books calls even with snow and deciduous hollies
in glory. Heart stuff nags me.

And then there is my first hook into "Japanese Gardens"

From the Time Life Encylopedia of Gardening
