New Landscaping

We recently replaced the shrubs in the front of the house. The old boxwoods that were there were pretty much dead or dying. The lack of rain this Summer really took a toll on them. They looked awful! So, we had them pulled up and replaced with azaleas, camellias,gardenias, hydrangeas, and holly ferns. There are also hosta and day lillies that will bloom in the Spring and Summer. These pictures don't quite reflect the finished picture, but you can kind of get the idea. The landscapers re-shaped the flower bed by rearranging the rocks, and then finished with fresh mulch and pine straw. The end result is much better, and I am already enjoying it so much! I can't wait until Spring when it will be in full bloom.
