Yes ,lots. See examples outside Scottish Gallery of modern Art, Edinburgh. Try in the gardening section. You might be more successful. Your best source is David Bourdon's book Designing the Earth........the human impulse to shape nature. That will give you all the info you need to get started

Yes is the answer. There is nothing new in this one. One not far from my house called the serpent. Others have included labyrinths.
