Front walk border

Becky is starting to see what she wants in the front in terms of new plants. The top photo was taken spring of 2008. The bottom photo was taken July of this year. Becky saw a front walk something like ours and she decided that she wants a border on either side of our front walk and around the azaleas. She may even go for a low hedge row along the sidewalk.

This area is starting to come into focus for me. I think it is about time I sit down and begin a sketch for the fall landscape construction. Along with this sketch I will adopt a budget so that I can put some new and interesting plants in each of the little areas that make up the whole front yard. When I get something Becky can see, she instantly has a good idea of the items she accepts or rejects in the proposal. Once there is acceptance then we go with that and we have a budget, or an idea of how much we can spend. I think we can get a great improvement with a minimal amount of investment, because the living plants grow abundantly when cared for. That means we will start small.

Next spring I want to see a much improved area come to life.
