The gardeners are here! I expect that there will be much lopping, trimming, pulling, and piling going on in my yard the next few days. They didn't really show up each with their very own wheel barrow, but I loved that picture above. The barrows look like they are in a confab just before they line up to run a marathon. Go Team Blue!
In actual fact, this is the scene in front of my house at this very moment.
One, very industrious gardener doing all the work, while his ancient father looks on in a supervisorial fashion. lol I love the fact that he brought his dad along. I wonder if it would be weird if I put a garden chair out there for him to sit on?
So, that is the Before picture of the overgrown front of my house. Stay tuned for the After.
This dead stump is supposed to be the focal point outside my kitchen window. Lovely, yes? No. That thing has to come out and something magnificent put in its place. Any ideas? I wish I could incorporate daffodils. The Easter Bunny is going to need someplace to hide.

I love ornamental cherry trees. They have weeping branches and when they bloom, they are absolutely stunning. =)
Wow, that’s definitely a job for a professional!
How about a Miniature Blue Japanese Oak for the back?
I love an outdoor facelift. Somehow it makes the indoors feel new also. I can’t wait to see the results.
Can’t wait to see the after pictures! Have a good weekend!
Hee-hee!. . . the bunny ears peeking out of the daffodils. Thanks for the smile!
xo, Bren
I’m not sure where you live, but a Japanese maple is always a good choice. Plus, they don’t really get too big for a foundation planting like that.
I’m enjoying your narration…can’t wait to see the photos of the finish.
How fun! This is like one of the gardening shows on television. Can’t wait to see the “after.”
I am waiting to see the finished product.Love all the daffodils We cant grow them here.I hope that cheeky Bunny is not eating all the plants LOL.
Hugs Mary.

Nicki,
I think if your doing it for you and Dennis, then put something you would enjoy like a number of different bulbs for cutting. Or perhaps a small flowering crabapple tree. If your doing it for perspective buyers, I’d put in seasonal flowers with a lot of color that will show well during any home showings.

I SO need this done at my house!! I’m sure it will look beautiful when it’s done. I’d give him a chair o:)
Can these guys come to my house! My Sat was spent trimming and pruning and piling and ….
How about a type of maple tree, my neighbor has one and it’s beautiful hanging over the fence!
