Garden Design?

As the garden labourer, I'm not often 'au fait' with the garden plans, except, like yesterday, when I was instructed to dig 4 new beds at the end of the Serpentine bed!
As you can see, this involved a lot of brain energy and measuring and visual assessment to ensure that they were in the right place but also that they 'looked' right.
However, because the beds appeared to be near our 'new' bank which we've been constructing for a couple of years (with consequent concern as to whether the mower would get through the gap), I was side-tracked after lunch into redefining the edge of it.
So, then on with the turf lifting.
By 5 o'clock, the body finally cried "Enough", so there remain 2 beds to clear (the second bed was finished just after this photo was taken).

Perhaps it's time for a promotion.  Could I be called a 'facilitator' rather than a 'labourer'?

"Dictionary Definition of FACILITATOR
:  one that facilitates; especially :  one that helps to bring about an outcome (as learning, productivity, or communication) by providing indirect or unobtrusive assistance, guidance, or supervision "

I like the ...indirect or unobtrusive assistance ...
