In March we decided to have some landscapers come out and redo the front and back yards. The biggest change of all was the removal of the ugly light-toned rock with the new dark brown rock...made all the difference in both the front and back yards. Here's the view from our front door while the landscapers were removing the old rock...
Before & After... (Since we plan to use this house as a rental in the future, we decided to keep a low-maintenance frontyard...going with a desert landscape. And surprisingly, I love the desert look!)
The difference of old (big pile in front) and new rock (in the background)...
They removed the bouganvillea in front of the window and added in an ocotillo instead. They took out the queen palm and added in a mound with a palo verde tree in the middle, landscaping rocks around, octopus cactus, totem cactus, artichoke-like cactus, and yucca. Our saguaro finally fits in :)
We had two pineapple palms in the backyard that we loved. They were huge and sweet looking but their roots were starting to move the cement wall so sadly we had them removed a few weeks prior and replaced with two Ash trees for future shade-cover. The landscapers then replaced all of the rock around our grass and added in some new plants. BEFORE & AFTER...
BEFORE & AFTER...
We love the clean look! (and that the cat-pooping sand area is gone :)
