Landscaping

We wanted to spruce the yard up a little bit, so we hired a friend's landscape company to come in and make the yard look nicer. I wish I had taken before pictures, but the only "before" photos that I have are from when we first moved in around 2006 and after we did some do it yourself landscaping in 2007. Before we had the professional landscaping done, everything looked pretty much the same as the "before" photos below, but the bushes were obviously a little bigger. We transplanted the bushes in the front to the back and added some nicer plants/flowers to the front. We planted pink encore azaleas, lower red pedlam bushes, gardenias, shannon of the valley bushes, and yellow lantana. We are really happy with the way it has turned out. I need to take some updated "after" photos, because the flowers have really begun to bloom. We also sold of our lawn furniture in a yard sale, as it was beginning to look worn. We still need to get some new furniture. Also, I wish our tree would get some leaves at the top again! Check out the before and after photos:
