Well, after living in this house for nine years, I think the landscaping finally looks like we had dreamed it would someday. The good and bad thing about building a home is that there is no landscaping when you move in. I appreciated being able to plant what I liked and being able to follow a color scheme. However, it took years for things to get to a point where they all bloomed and filled the space. My perennials are doing so well that Dave had to widen the beds. Dave also stained the fence and painted the shed. We are so pleased with how everything has turned out. My mom's green thumb and expertise has helped me over the years. Her knowledge of plants helped me create a garden that always has something in bloom. Thanks Mom! Without further delay, here are some glamour shots of the landscaping...
Front Yard

The rocks were taken from a rock pile at a friend's farm

You've done a beautiful job! Want to come over and give me some feedback on my back yard? The landscaper is waiting on decisions from me, and I am having trouble envisioning how it will look. Would love your input if you have the time.
ReplyDeleteSure! That sounds like fun.
