The Front Yard Landscaping (Part 1)

Since I started Modern Hindsight, my vintage furniture business, I've been preoccupied with that project and have eased up on the interior projects and focused on the outdoor projects. We decided to do the landscaping in the front yard first. All of the beds would be stripped of everything but the trees. Layers of shrubs, annuals and a couple of new trees would take the place of the the sad little shrubs and groundcover that came with the house.

"Before" the landscaping project.

Truly depressing.

This was actually the best of the worst.

The center section was the worst. Three different hedge shrubs? What was this builder thinking?
