Last week sod went in on this project and the transformation was quite remarkable. The site, which has been dry and dusty for months instantly felt cool, soft and lush. The house and landscape began to feel as if they had been there for years and the design we had envisioned had really started to look like a finished product.

| The plants along the wall are Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala petiloaris). |

The white flowering perennials you are seeing are Candytuft (Iberis sempervirens) underneath a Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa) which hasn't totally leafed out yet, backed up by Canadian Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), which serves as both a backdrop for the Kousa and as privacy screening. Also mixed in among the Hemlocks are several Winterberries (Ilex verticillata) which should provide interest in the winter months with their bright red berries. |
Next up for this project.....railings, landscape lighting, and driveway.......stay turned and be sure to check out
