When we first bought our house a little over two years ago, our landscaping was completely overgrown and pretty much the grossest thing we had ever seen. Have yourself a little look...
And that picture is after we got new windows, a new front door, and a new roof...just imagine the horror before! So then...over the next couple years we tore all the bushes and junk out...so for a long time it looked like this...
Brady and I were planning on doing the landscaping ourselves. We researched the internet, creeped all over town on peoples yards, and checked out books from the library. But we had no idea what to do when it came to our house! It was so frustrating...until...I found out that one of my new crop insurance customers also does landscaping on the side. When someone is a customer or mine, I am more than happy to do business with them. So he came out and measured everything and asked all sorts of questions. In a couple days we had a plan drawn out, and a few weeks after that there was a crew of 3 guys at our house getting work done!
Of course having someone else do it was more expensive than if we would have done it ourselves, but we are so happy we did it and are so pleased with the final product. Our house just looks happier now and has so much more curb appeal!

I think you should really see some before and afters...the before pictures were taken Monday morning, and the after pictures were taken Monday evening!

Front of house before.
And my favorite part...a vintage wheelbarrow that Brady FOUND in our woods! It is right by our garage door where everyone comes in our house. This is before.
And after! Seriously, how awesome is this wheelbarrow...that Brady FOUND! Ahh!
I can't wait until everything blooms and starts to fill in. Don Anderson and Garden Gate Landscapes did an awesome job and if anyone is wanting their services then you should call Don at (765) 325-2681.
The pictures hardly do it justice, everyone will just have to come over to see it in real life so you can really appreciate all the new outside wonderfulness!
I hope you like is as much as we do (I am sure you don't, but that's okay...we better like it the most since we paid for it!)
Thanks for reading!
