The cutest garden on the block
So we have the smallest piece of land in the area, but we decided it had to pack a punch and it had to compliment our home.
I wanted to make sure the smallest detail was organised before we even started building. So many plans later we have it sorted and now its starting to take shape.
We didn’t put lights in our walls of our garage but instead we will be putting them in the concrete driveway as up lights and placing those same up lights in our planter boxes to shine up the trees….and this decision needed to be made before the build otherwise we would have paid for wiring that was never needed.
Then knowing how small the land was externally we knew we had to be smart and creative. We also had to keep in mind our active growing son and potential new siblings along the way (now don’t ask me, because we still haven’t decided.)…but also our lovely canine daughter…both these people need yard to play in.
So we decided on a pool and special planter box areas to define our plants…
The pool is being dug today and the planter boxes were finished being built on the weekend.
We have changed our minds on the steps up to the front door but its not a big deal its just the decision to do concrete instead of limestone so just a change of finish.
I have earmarked a mature Magnolia for the middle planter box and some grasses around the base and some low growing grass type plants along the side.
Wow, that is going to look great. I am excited for you and so very envious! How cute is your little man??
I know, how cute is he there giving the girl some water…I can’t wait until the garden looks finished but its been great sharing the road so far travelled.
