Front Landscaping

After about 4 years, we finally finished our front landscaping. We laid the bricks and filled our planter boxes with dirt. We also placed the same bricks around our front trees to help keep the weeds/grass away from the trunks. We planted some shrubs in our front bed - a Euonymus and two Spirea in the taller area and a couple of small Euonymus plants in the lower bed with some flowers and a Golden Chain Tree. The Japanese maple was planted back in 2004 after we did the sprinklers. We are happy with how it has all turned out. In the front flowerbed by the driveway we had planted some Boxwood's a few years ago, and they are doing great. We like to plant annuals in the bed around the boxwoods (after the daffodills die out.) Once we finish a few projects in the back yard and side of our house, we will be able to feel like yard work is just maintaining. We enjoy doing a little at a time - and as finances permit.
