Landscaping Plans are done

So, the one thing we hate about our house and knew that we'd have to completely redo is the landscaping.  The current landscaping it has is an eyesore, and definitely stands out, and not in a good way, in our cul-de-sac.  Luckily, we have an amazing landscaping design company that we worked with when we built our last house.  It's a husband/wife team.  He's the muscle and she's the design.  She pulls in amazing varieties and hybrids of plants.  I learned a lot last time around about the power of texture, and different colors popping at different times, etc.

When we saw the yard on this house, we knew we would call them and consult right away.  We actually walked the yard before we even closed on the house.  Well, we finally met with her and got to see the plan.  It's beautiful.  We're pulling out everything, pretty much (especially in the front yard) and starting with a blank slate.  We'll do it in stages, but it's going to be gorgeous.  We have a couple tweaks to the plan, but here is her drawing.  Isn't it pretty?!

Also, just to give you an idea of some of the crazy plants... I can't remember all of the varieties, but I did remember these:  Believe it or not, these are both hydrangeas!

The pink and purple one is called "Twist and Shout" and the pinkish/red one is called "Pinky Winky."  Have you ever seen hydrangeas like those?!?!  Crazy cool.

This is one of the plants that she is putting a bunch of in assorted colors under our wooded area (it's called Astilbe).  Crazy.

Plus, there will be lots of other things, daisies, but not standard daisies.  Some cool ornamental grasses, and more.  I can't wait to show you!
