|
As I mentioned in one thread, hubby and I always do our own landscaping, that means all of it, building fences, installing lighting, putting down weed block, spreading stones and of course planting all tree or plants.. the berm on our MB side is huge about 15'x30' we had 4 palm trees which when planted were about 3' but hurricane Charley took one down and one had to be righted and braced, but we saved it. That's mary's garden she's the concrete girl holding flowers sitting on the bench you know "Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow?" and on the other side of our house above the driveway is the corner fence and lamp post/birdbath which we of course put in, and our crape myrtle, there are two norfolk pines in front to the left of the corner fence also.
Just took this pic of Mary, along side of her on the bench is her black scotty dog, also concrete, and on the ground a gnome fisherman, and behind him the pelican sitting on a stump, thinking about stealing the fish...in winter the grass is not so green, nor flowers so profuse.

Nice work!  A very crisp, clean design and beautifully maintained.
It makes me feel warmer, just seeing those fronds swaying in the breeze.

Your first photo reminded me of a desert island in a sea of green Suzie, those palms are marvellous. It would be great to see a close up of concrete Mary, I'm sure she is quite pleased to be in such a pleasant location.
