The Landscaping Project is Almost Finished!

This year we decided our big home improvement project would be the front landscaping. We hired a landscaper to do the complete job -- tear out the old shrubs and plant whatever he thought would work best, although I did request Japanese red maples and a dogwood. The project has been going on for a couple months now, but at last we are done (except for the lighting). Hope it all survives the hot Texas summer! Below are some slideshows of the "before" and the "after."
