When we moved into our house four yeas ago, we loved pretty much everything about it, except the landscaping. One of the first things on my to-do list was to have it landscaped. The backyard looked really bare with only two evergreen trees in it and one evergreen, the top half was dead. Well we will have been in our house exactly four years next month and we finally had someone come out and do the landscaping. The pictures don't really do it justice. It looks like a new house with the landscaping.
These are the before pictures.
They removed the big evergreen and several of the shrubs. All the trees and shrubs that they removed, they transplanted to our back yard.
They also removed all the tree stakes. They were such an eyesore.
When we first moved in to this house, we had three pine trees on the island but last year, one died. We had to cut it down. We have plans to add more things to the island but not sure exactly what at the present time. We have mums that will be in bloom in the fall.
The lady said it will take about two summers for everything to fill in.
The stone was expensive, but worth it. I think adding the rock underneath the gutter downspouts add a lot. They trimmed the hollies back to about a third of their size.
I didn't notice at the time, but I managed to capture one of our barn swallows in the picture. They have a nest on the ledge over our front door and I think have produced at least four different sets this year. Their first set all died. Hubby looked out the front door and they were all laying on the porch dead. But, they are very messy. Hubby is always washing the poop off our door mat.
Back in November, we also had three trees planted. I will show pictures of backyard later. It is beginning to not look bare anymore.
