Out of the Jungle

We began looking for a new house in January of this year. We found a house in February while there was still snow on the ground. We then closed in mid-April and moved beginning of May. When we finally got settled, we started paying attention to the landscaping needs. One side of our house was a jungle. We had honeysuckle overtaking the steep hillside, weeds up to our knees, and a permanent deer path. It was awful.

Because of the steepness of the hill, I was slightly concerned with tackling the project ourselves. We hired a local landscaper, Outside Image.








I'm happy with the outcome. I really like how this layout will allow me to add my own touches over the years.

Of course, Andy and I didn't last long leaving the landscaping alone. We spent Saturday morning wondering around a nursery picking out deer resistant plants and a few more shrubs. Once we got home we set to work  digging holes and planting the new additions.
