To clean up his yard a bit from the eclectic mix of the previous owner, Mike had some landscaping work done recently. I think it will look great once the grass grows in; it's so much neater and doesn't block the front of the house. Here are some before photos from last summer.
The bushes in the front had just become so big, and I think these smaller shrubs don't hide the house so much. Also, the flowers in front were pretty but a good amount of work to maintain. The landscaper moved some of the bushes around to save the pretty plants and bushes that the previous owner had, too.
For example, the azalea at the end (blooming pink right now) was in front of the house in the large flower area and was moved to a place where it still can be seen but doesn't block the house. And there's still a small flowerbed at the corner, which will still allow for pretty blooming.
The other azaleas (blooming pink and white right now) were moved next to the rhododendrum. All three are beautifully blooming.
I had heard of plants called azaleas and rhododendrums, but now I now what they are! :-)
On the side of the house, the landscaper cleaned up the numerous plants that were there to make it neater.
Some of these were transplanted from the front yard.
