Our Garden Plan...

Well, one day until closing. We offically own our house tomorrow afternoon. We'll have a final walkthrough at 11 a.m. and then head to closing at 12:30 p.m. After that, it's house painting time!!!!!

Last night, we visited the house and they have installed 3 trees (2 Autumn Blaze Maples and a Spring Snow Crabapple) in the front yard and 15 shrubs. We also have our rock in our front yard. They will install the sod today. It was too dark to take pictures, so we'll have to take them tonight.

We are both very excited! Just can't wait!!!!

Here is our preliminary backyard plan. We are still awaiting approval on the deck and will need to submit our landscaping plan. We might change trees or the placement of shrubs, but this is the basic idea: We will have rock lining the perimeter of the house and will have around 8 shrubs (right now, we're looking at lilac bushes and daphne shurbs, a hearty, white flowering shrub). We were looking at installing two spring snow crabapples, but we might change that to a different tree.
