Front Yard transformation Pt2

This past weekend we went out of state
To help my niece and her husband
Transform their yard.

Before:


After:


We progressed to the 
Front yard
The birch type trees would sway 
In the wind and hit the glass on the windows
And were destroying the shingles
And it had large roots going under the 
Garage and the new steps they had put in















The pine tree ended up being collateral damage 
When the birch tree came down

We also pulled out the junipers by
Attaching straps to them
And using our van to pull them out








We were all amazed to that by doing 
This it opened up the whole front of the house
there were roses to prune


Weeping pines to clean out




Of course there were vines and weeds to pull









Because it is to cold to plant some annuals
All we planted were perriennals
Such as Columbines,  azaleas, hydrangeas
Pansies, and English Daisies











We will be going back soon 
To plant trees in the backyard
And put annuals like impatiens
Petunias etc
We will also be moving some of the 
bushes in the front to make
 them more uniformed

It was a great weekend!!!

  7. That house looks huge & gorgeous. I am a fan of brick homes and not a fan of junipers. Great job! NG
