Curb Appeal

This picture is an overgrown reminder of what I had to look past when I first visited what is now my house. I really should be grateful to the forest...it probably detracted many buyers from even considering the house. We had several trees cut down and others trimmed, regraded the yard, installed drainage and a sprinkler system, planted new sod and plants, and replaced the country blue shutters with dark green ones. It will take a few years for the new bushes and plants to fill out, but I'm already excited to plant spring flowers to add a little color.


Home sweet home.

It is amazing what some tree trimming will do! There is a house in our neighborhood for sale. The trees are horrible, we know it would sell if they would trim those trees! It looks great! Love the shutters.

You did a lot of "curb appeal" work!! It does not even look like the same house. It looks fresh and new! I love it!! Way to go!!
