He has endless imagination. I have seen before and after pictures. Because I do not have before pictures you will have to imagine a long and narrow yard approximately 30 ft wide by 100 feet long, overgrown with foot high grass.

Eight years ago when Boris wanted to purchase this plain row house, he asked his wife, who by the way did not like the house in its original stage to give him a year and if she still  does not like the house in a year from the day they purchased it, they can look for another house. So she agreed and Boris got to work… and a year later she loved what she saw. The house started its transformation under Boris’s imagination and his skilled hands. I don’t think he knew he possessed this kind of talent, some of us live our whole life without discovering what our true talent is, I believe he found his. You be the judge…pictures are beautiful…. but being there walking the garden is another experience. …just unbelievable… and each time you take a walk you discover something tucked away and hidden you have not seen or noticed earlier… As he transformed the back yard he also changed the front of the house as I will show you with the following pictures.  When you enter the house no details were spared inside, which is just as beautiful as outside. The back is an extension of the front of the house ….absolutely magnificent …a very rich looking English gardens…..on a  much smaller scale…..he succeeded to create a true sanctuary.

I am so proud of Boris, a great landscape artist. I tried to think who in our family had such a talent and the only person I could think of would be our grandfather Zanmaria. He loved his plants and flowers and had impeccable small gardens all around his country home. He had a big influence on all his grandchildren’s lives as we were growing up in Croatia. He showed us the importance of hard work and love for our family even thought so many years later most of us are scattered all around the world.

So…. as an American cousin would say to the English cousin “Boris, you bloody impressed me!” Thank you so much for allowing me to share your beautiful creation with our Deer Defeat customers!!!!
