Working In The Yard Continued
A close-up of the new plants and bark.
|
|
 |
| It's Finished
We added a few boulders to help fill in the areas that didn't have
plants. And those large rocks match the others on the right side of the
house now. These rocks came from Whitewater Rock in Whitewater, CA. and
weighed over 600 pounds.
|
|
We also put two more at either end of the
Little John Bottle Brush plants. These plants should look great in a few years.
|
|
|
I didn't want the bark to be right next to the house
because of the bugs that like to hide in it. This way the rocks do two
things: first it makes a barrier between the house and bark. Second it
gives the yard a little different look by matching the walkway that I'm
standing on to take this picture.
|
|
 |
And here is the matching area I was talking about above.
|
|
Birds of Paradise. These plants do better in partial sun so we'll have
to see how they do.
|
|
 |
Bougainvillea. These have great color and should like nice once they
get larger.
|
|
 |
Blue Flax Lily Clarity.
|
|
 |
Euonymus Golden Flowering Shrub with White Blooms. These can get four to
six feet tall so I'll make sure to prune them.
|
|
 |
|
This is the only existing plant that we kept. However, I'm not sure what
the official name of it is, but I'll call it "Lucky". This was another
fun project and we both had fun working on it.
|
|
|
I added two small spotlights to the landscaping which gives the yard a
little something extra. And I did the same thing to the right side of
the house as well. This was another fun project that we both really
enjoyed.
