Landscaping Nearly Complete!

BEFORE - Front of the house

AFTER - Front of the house 

A couple months ago a couple from south of Dallas moved to our neighborhood, directly across the street from us.  Jim and Frances have taken to making some improvements, and they began with their front yard.  I loved what they did with the stones and plant beds, so this inspired us to find a landscaper to do the same for our front yard!

You will see the difference in the front of the house be just doing the stones and mulch.  Really frames up the front yard nicely!

And we didn't stop there ...

This shot with the tree close up really shows the difference in how the yard looks.  We just love to drive up to the house now to enjoy the view!  We'll save the flowers for the front door.  There are pots and plant stand from the fall that we'll turn into a spring display soon!

And while we were at it, we had them edge and mulch the two trees in the backyard as well.  It's our view from the kitchen and family room, so we might as well have it improved as well!  In fact the electrician is going to install outdoor ceiling fans on the patio so that we'll be able to enjoy that space, so this view really motivates us to get that done soon too!
