Truly magic in the backyard!

All without the pros! (yet!)
The bigger area will need some professional planning though!

Got the front bed and side area done…mostly happy with it. I’m thinking the large succulents in the front bed should be lower to the ground, maybe I should have got these other ones that are brighter green and more like ground cover.
I’m thinking of getting a tall planter for the door entry and putting the tall succulents there instead, then getting the ones I think I should have gotten for the bed.

With the tree’s cleaned up and the lawn nice and green…now its time to look towards the empty areas needing a little love.

I don’t know if its something I did, or didn’t do, but the lawn was looking very very shabby. I have been told it’s time to aerate & re-seed…and that this is the ideal time of year to do it. After recruiting my neighbors meticulous gardener to come to the rescue, I am now excitedly watching the grass grow…LITERALLY!

Now I am wondering if the tree trimmers were really qualified and if they totally hacked my lovely rich yard down to nothing but crap!
I read some things about tree topping and how its bad. I am worried now that i ruined the beautiful landscape. Granted it was OVERGROWN, but maybe this guy went a little too crazy on it? I mean, I DID have beautiful flowers from the vines growing up the tree on the side. I DID have a lush private backyard. I DID have a huge, symmetrical magnolia tree in the front, that is now only trimmed on my yard facing side…wtf?
I REALLY hope things grow back and I don’t question what I have done to the yard.

So, I know the yard is all overgrown and needed major trimming/cleanup but…omg! I finally got it done and I’m in major shock! I believe the yard/trees haven’t been touched in the whole time Jack lived here – approx 15+ years, so there was some MAJOR overgrowth that really needed to be cleared out.
Before...
...AFTER!
