Landscaping
Below is a pictorial history of the landscaping of the house at the Vista Serrano Vineyard. The design of the landscaping was completed in early March of 2001. The work was completed in June of that same year. There were more then 100 trees, 80 plants, a small orchard, and almost 1/2 an acre of grass planted during these months. Also to add character to the lawn more then ten tons of large rocks was added from the surrounding hills of Chimney Rock. At this time the vineyard was still in the planning stages for the area below the house and lawn.
