Changing out the Landscaping in the front yard.

Our "Home Sweet Home" is what I like to think of as three distinct parts.  The first is "The House". Secondly there is the entrance to the house, that I called "THE JUNGLE".   Lastly, there would be what I not so fondly refer to as "THE CONCRETE JUNGLE", that would be all the concrete we have in the back yard.  Well we finely got the smaller of the two taken care of... The front entrance.

Sometimes at night I couldn't tell if there was someone hiding in the bushes to the left of the door.  You could cut back the small palms... getting your hands all cut up in the process, but they would grow back so fast!  Not to mention the Winters here get so cold that it kills back the fronds, so it takes the plants a good while to turn green again.  I hope your enjoy the before and after photos!  We sure are pleased with the new look...  and the added soothing sound of water.
