Patio & Landscaping DONE!!!

So you may remember the backyard patio project we started last summer? Well if not here is a little reminder of where we started....

Then we completed the patio (as pictured above) but the plants that where left were out of control and growing for years..so we did a little destruction late last summer! And left a blank canvas for us to work on this Spring...

Waalaaa! What we did: replanted grass, added bushes/plants like ornamental grass, hosta, a magnolia tree, hydrangeas, wine & rose bushes, and a couple fun little purple plants...

Here is the transplanted birch tree that was previously by the garage..hopefully happier in this location. It is surrounded by peonies, iris, day lillies and rose bushes...

Our other river birch tree surrounded by ground cover, hosta, the purple plants and hydrangeas.

The focal point is our magnolia tree (can't wait to see what it looks like when it grows!) surrounded by hosta, wine & rose bushes, ornamental grass and day lillies..

And finally our maple tree...

We are SOOOO happy to be done! and wipe our hands clean of dirt! We can finally relax in our backyard oasis that we have created! Come enjoy with us: have dinner on our deck, a little bonfire at the patio fire pit, lay out and catch some rays on our sun patio or take in the smell of the flowers or eat a veggie in our garden!
