Nords, tonytryout and G ... (landscape thing)

Thanks for all your suggestions and help (and pictures, Tonytryout) ... I finally figured out (the basics) of what I wanted and the landscape job is finished - thanks mucho for ya'lls input :D

Okay - I know it's hard to see 'cause it's a crappy picture so ... on the outer corners - burford hollies - in the center in front of each column are two crimson barberry plants with maidenhair grass as a 'backdrop' ...

Side View:

The little bushes are gardenias ... and those other tree lookin' things are burford hollies ...

And we have to keep in mind that these things will need to grow and they are just the basics - I know I have alot to fill in :)

Pictures are low qual. but I wanted to save on load time :D

You two are the puny gardenias on the side ;)

What? No argument? ;)

:D

bah, I didn't see your comment, until now...

:o

gardenia's... fine. we will OVERTAKE YOUR LAWN

;)

<shrugs> s'okay ... Least you smell pretty ... ;)

I notice the close proximity of the trees to the house.

Burford hollies grow to about 20 ft high, any tree of that size will have a large root structure which might cause problems with your foundations.

Tree roots can undermine foundations or suck all moisture from them, causing subsidence....

...unless of course they are dwarf burfords.

Nice House! :)

I was in a big quandry about what to plant that close to the house - where were you when this all started? ;)

They're dwarfs ~ I made sure of that when they planted :D


Thanks, Cyk :)

I still have some fill in planting to do - and waiting for the barberry, etc to 'bush out' a little, but overall - I'm happy with the job they did :D

that house looks H'UGE! if you dont mind me asking, how many bedrooms and roughly what price? id like to compare that to the housing here in the uk, property prices in different locations interest me:)

4 bedrooms and none of your business how much we paid ;) Just get on a homefinder sight or somesuch and look for homes in the Dallas suburbs ...

I think we have one of those homes that probably look bigger on the outside than it really is ...

one room for me and starks each when we visit too, right?

;)

HEY! WTH do you think I made a new landscape bed for??? Dirt is soft, mange!

should I be scared? I mean... soft dirt. new plants. I'm NOT fertilizer! :o

Gawd, G - that is way too easy ... I'm gonna walk away, though - but really - by now - you should've learned - don't leave yourself so wide open, mange ...

;)

<smacks forehead>

well dang... I finally left myself open... imagine that...

;)
