As many of you know, TOMMY on here does lawns and landscaping. Here's the before and after of my front yard.

It was the most boring front yard. There was a row of bushes that didn't even all match. I've always wanted to change it up but didn't really know what to do.

I never liked this standard issue ring of bricks around the tree. Every yard has one or two.

AFTER:

The two bushes on the end need to fill in. They were part of the original row.

We also got rid of the ring around the tree and added some flair.

Tommy estimates that the ground cover should fill in next spring.

I'm thinking of laying the rock on its side instead. Maybe in a week. I might like it better that way.

Nice improvement. No flowers for color or anything? Or are they not bloomed yet? Very good job though.

No doubt. Get an old sword, break it in half, and mount it so that it looks to be penetrating...

How much does something like that run??

I like how it's not symmetrical. It should look 10x better once the plants fill in. I'll update this thread in a few months.

PM Tommy for costs.

Removing the line of bushes blocking your front window sure did open up the look of your place. I like it.

I thought TOMMY was into something IT related?

Looks good btw.

IT, lawn service and landscaping. Perfect combination.

Tommy was great to work with on this project. I highly recommend consulting and/or hiring him for your lawn and garden needs.
