This spring, we have been hard at work creating a new front yard. Our yard probably has not been "landscaped" since it was built in the 1960s. The azaleas were old and tired and we really didn't have any shrubbery at the house. I also wanted a more tailored look overall.
BEFORE:
We had lots of trees cut down and all of the existing shrubbery removed in February.
So in March, we hauled, we worked, we went to Green Thumb Nursery about 100 times, we dug, we dug some more, we fought with roots buried in the ground, we hauled about 30 bags of topsoil, put out 46 bails of pine straw, put out new sod, and oh so much more. My body got quite the workout. With all of that said, we are super pleased with the results. This is the front. We still have not completed the side of the driveway, but it is coming along nicely.
AFTER:
We planted mostly boxwoods. Hopefully, the small boxwoods will grow into a hedge and the rounds will grow a little bigger and we can keep those rounded nicely. I did begonias around the cone boxwoods.
