A Work In Progress

Andy has been working really hard on getting our yard started. We still have a ways to go, but he did plant 29 trees in the yard. He also got a drip system installed to make life easier watering 29 trees.

The tree on the side of the garage is an Autumn Blaze Maple. It was planted to shade the garage from the evening sun. In the background you can see the fruitless crabapple that we planted in the front yard for "decoration." We haven't seen it, but it's supposed to produce beautiful white flowers in the spring.


Here is a Hackberry tree that was planted in the east corner of the lot to block wind and morning sun on the house.

















Here is the south-east side of our house a row of Emerald Green Trees that should grow to be 10 to 15 feet tall to provide privacy and wind block.




This is the north corner of our lot where we planted an Austrian Pine which should get to be really big. It will block north winds.





This is where we planted our fruit trees, on the north east side of the lot. We planted a Big Utah Cherry, Elberta Peach, Bing Cherry, Gala Apple, and another Peach and an Apricot.
