Tommi Orchards by PVII

landscaping

June 2005

The front entry was redone with paver blocks in October 2004. The landscaping, front door and the driveway looked just awful.

We contracted with the same company who installed the pavers to do our landscaping.

We replaced our 20 year old bushes & shrubs with some nice new ones.

We now have two nice arborvitaes, a birch tree & a cherry tree.

front yard landscaping

Phase 2 of the front of the house do-over begins. The beautiful bay window is in and the front entryway is done. This landscaping looks old and tiresome. I think we originally planted it in the early 80's. Time to rip it out and start anew. Click on the first thumbnail in the row to start the slideshow.

existing landscaping

This is it. We're missing a very tall arborvitae which we must have lost during a storm so there's a bare spot in the front corner. This stuff is old and overgrown.

out with the old ~ in with the new

The old stuff was uprooted and loaded onto a truck for disposal somewhere.

  • The old plants have been removed and topsoil has been added.
  • Here's the new stuff.
  • It's all ready to go in.
  • Everything is planted.

  • I added a few annuals so we had some color.
