Landscaping and Trees

We recently finished landscaping our yard — front, side, and back. We’re really happy with how things turned out. Before landscaping, we had HUGE wheat-looking weeds all over the place, which hid the basketball-sized rocks beneath. Now, we have grass, trees, curbing, and a nice cement pad to BBQ and entertain. I’ll explain the whole landscaping process later — a lot of lessons learned. Today, however, I just want to share about the 14 trees we bought.

We bought the following trees:

Yoshino Flowering Cherry

Spring Snow Crabapple

Pink Weeping Flowering Cherry

Kwanzan Flowering Cherry

Autumn Purple White Ash

Ornamental Pear

Forest Pansy Redbud

My wife designed the placement of the trees and she did a great job. We bought 14 trees — they were pricey, but worth it. We’re stoked to have the yard done so that the kids can have some place to play and our family can now fully enjoy being in our house.
