Landscape Success

Our landscaping attempts are complete. It is safe to come visit us as we will probably not put you to work in the yard. :) Darren did a GREAT job with the blocks and border. I am extremely impressed and pleased! You are more than welcome to come visit and enjoy the fire pit with us this fall. Marshmallows and hot dogs for the kids, brats and beer for the adults. before by the garage

after in front of porch and by garage -
there are flowers planted in the quarter circle area and in the front by the porch.
before in front by the downstairs windows
other side of basement windows
after in front of basement windows - I want to plant roses there.
before by chimney
after by chimney - not sure what I will plant there. It is very shady so many some shade loving flowers. I'd like to plant herbs, but I'm sure they won't get enough sun.
before by deck
after by deck - those hosta plants are from the front by the basement windows. The rocks are from our South Dakota rock collection we have been moving with us for all our moves. We are finally displaying them the way we intended. A piece of home wherever we go!
