Landscaping Plans

Since there's so much work to do inside, we likely won't get much landscaping done until next summer. But, since Jen's parents are so great at gardening (they have a beautiful yard!) we had them over to take a look and give us some ideas.

The plan for the backyard is to put in some cedars along the back fence line. We're going to do that this spring because they take some time to fill in.

Our next door neighbours want to replace the fence (thank goodness - it's quite an eyesore!) but we're probably going to wait until next spring to put in a new one. In the meantime, we're going to pull out the old one and leave it open. Once a new fence is up, we can decide on the rest of the backyard landscaping.

As for the front yard, we're going to have to place the gas metre (and eventually the air conditioner) in the front garden. We've decided to get the gas metre installed on the left side and we'll try and tuck the a/c unit in beside the stairs. Once we get those in, we'll do our best to hide them with bushes, etc. For the most part, though, this summer's landscaping work will consist of mowing the lawn - thanks to the wonderful lawnmower we inherited from the Wilsons!
