Yard Work

Matt made the sweetest comment the other day.  He told our neighbor that he wanted to get the yard cleaned up because he wanted to make sure that when Hallie Grace is big enough to play outside, the yard is nice and free of messy weeds where snakes can hide.  He loves hard work, and he is trying so hard to make our yard nicer!  Man, I'm lucky to have such a handy-man!  He worked very hard this weekend and made some nice progress. We still have a ways to go and a lot planned, but it's going to look great when finished.
This was before...We laid rocks as the flowerbed border.  We are getting rid of the fountain and planting a Purpleleaf Sand Cherry Bush and placing a couple of Sungold Threadbranch Cypress shrubs around it.

Right now we're working on the left side


Matt replaced the rocks with black, humped border.  We like it a lot better!

We added ferns to the porch, and we are planting 3 Wintergreen Boxwoods along the front and 2 Sky Pencil Japanese Holly shrubs on each side of the walkway leading to the doorway. 

I will post pictures when they're all planted, and maybe the picture will be a better explanation of what I can give!
