Thanks to the landscape designer at a local nursery, we have a plan for our backyard landscaping. It consists of a rain garden on the side of the house (the top part of the drawing), and a privacy garden in the back of the house (the right side of the drawing) to screen us from the neighbor's house behind us.
It was really interesting having someone who is so knowledgeable about plants come and look at the yard. We now know the variety of every existing plant in our yard, whether it's healthy, and we have many suggestions for specific plants that will grow well in our yard, taking into account how much sun and rain each area gets.
Speaking of the yard, J mowed it for the first time last week. In my unbiased opinion, he did an excellent job.
We hope to have the backyard landscaped in the next couple of months, so photos to come!
