{ landscape design part 1 }

This is the view into my backyard.

See our lovely trampoline that was demolished in the last storm we had.

It ended up close to the driveway of the house behind us....can you believe that.

Now it sits in it's original home, unusable, and I can't wait to get rid of it,

or at least move it over to the left side of our lot { out of the picture }.

While I was sitting outside this afternoon, enjoying the slightly cooler weather today.

I was daydreaming about the trees and landscaping I would like to add to improve my view.

I really do love the wide open views of the skies at night, but I don't care for seeing

other houses. My goal is to create a park like setting in my backyard.

I long for complete privacy, and surrounding myself with 

NATURE.

So, Here's the planting PLAN

I'll need about ten of these Leyland Cypress,

four more of these River Birch to add to the two I already have,

two of these lovely Yoshino Cherry trees

four more of my favorite Limelight Hydrangeas,

and last buy not least by any means, one of my favorites the Weeping Willow.

Now, here's what I have in mind.

You can barely see the house behind me, 

and I'm sure I don't have the cypress scaled to full size.

What do you think?

Is it an improvement?

You have to forgive me for my symmetry,

no matter how hard I try, I just can't get away from it.

This is just a plan too,

things are always subject to change in my world,

Now, my image isn't true to life, because never would my cherry trees

and limelight hydrangeas be in bloom at the same time,

but you get the idea.

I'm thinking it would be the perfect spot for a wedding someday.

Is it crazy that I'm even thinking of that.

I can't help it, I would love to see my backyard be beautiful enough

that my children would wan't to be married under that weeping willow someday.

A girl can dream can't she...now let's just hope I can make it that pretty.

I used photoshop, and the images above to compile the finished photo.
