Re-Landscaped My Front Yard

[hummingbird]

We just moved In a few months ago and are dealing with strict water laws. Just waiting for my milkweed to get here for the Monarchs. Lots of native wildflower seed germinating for the hummingbirds and butterflies, too. Glad it's done! I am BEAT.

Wow! ! Looks like you elevated the neighbourhood.

I love it!

 

[Tradewinds]

Very nice indeed! I like your use of decorative rock, which will help cut down on your water consumption. The lighted walk-way is charming.

I like your rain chain

Was so busy looking at your landscaping that I just now noticed your solar panels. Too Cool! I have started playing with them to power my little greenhouses. How many watts have are you collecting up there?

Good work - what a difference!

Thanks, all! I'm not sure. They came with the build. All I know our highest bill was $45 in the dead 110 degree heat of summer. Not too bad I should probably look it up...

Looks neat and indeed a pretty lay out. Are you planning on any trees too?

Thank you! There are two young golden rain trees and two crepe myrtles in the picture, but hard to spot because they are so young. I would like to add a dwarf plum tree or olive tree, but I'm not sure if there will be enough room once the rain trees grow. In the dead of summer, the sun sets directly toward the front of the house... It gets HOT. I recently grafted 22 shrubs to shape them into small trees, too.

Wow! What a difference it's made, well done Hummingbird!

Love the flowing lines leading the eye in and would love to see it in 6 months time once things have grown. It looks great

I can imagine how your garden will look when your trees reach maturity.
