Adventures in Landscaping, DONE!

Beautiful! Just like the other adults have! I especially like the way it smells now, with the bark all fresh and redwoody smelling. So here's what we got:

5 Japanese yew. These are along the far right fence and will eventually grow up to be great big strong windbreaks.

3 white birch. These are in the far right corner. Their role is to sway and bow gently in the breeze (wind) and look pretty.

5 non-tropical hibiscus. Four of them are in front of the white birch, one is behind those four, among the white birch.

13 oleander, the tall ones, a mix of pink and white. Four of these went towards the left, in front of the air conditioning units. We wanted something to protect them from the wind and give them some shade, and we also wanted to hide them onnacounta they're big and ugly. The remaining 9 are all in front of the Japanese yew, and will fill in below the leaf line.

7 cubic yards of bark (of which we had enough left over to fill in some holes we had in the front yard).

Purty!
