Side Yard - Before and After

BEFORE

Sometimes you just have to pause and compare the Before and After of a project.  

The other day I was flipping through old photos looking for 

something and I came across the before photo above. 

What a striking difference today!

AFTER

The side yard now has tall London Plane trees and a dry creek bed. and the dying red oaks are gone and converted into wainscotting.  The drainage problem has been dealt with.

BEFORE

 The Dry Creek Bed handles the drainage in a pretty satisfactory way.

AFTER

The many clumps of day lilies along the creek bed are just now beginning to bloom.

The deep red come first but we will have several weeks of color.
