We decided to fix and add to the landscaping that was thrown together quite fast. We purchased two yards of dirt and 2 yards of mulch. You can see we moved the tree on the right side of the garage to match the one on the left. In the picture in previous post you can see it was out really far to the right. Well that's because they were lazy and did not want to dig up the gravel I came across while moving the tree. It looks much better now.
Added mulch and two trees on the side of the house all the way to the back. We will put flowers in between but haven't found anything we like so far. We have also added Solar lights we found at Home Depot. You can see we also added rock under the fireplace so the grass will not grow there.
Waterproofed the entire foundation. We used Loxon XP by Sherwin Williams and also had it tinted to "Stone Lion" It looks so much nicer painted.
Added rocks to try to prevent flooding by each of the gutter down spouts.
Did Ryan Homes paint your foundation? They paint the foundation to match the siding in Maryland.
ReplyDeleteNo we did it ourselves, they do not do it for us in Ohio. It looks so much better this way, they should do it for everyone!
ReplyDeleteNice improvement! We built a Ryan Home two years ago and ended up moving a lot of the plants around.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so nice! Love the idea for the gravel at the bottom of the downspouts.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! We will probably end up moving around the trees as well :-)
ReplyDeleteNice, I really like your landscaping ideas.
