New landscaping in back yard

We started landscaping the far back edge of the back yard, just in front of our double row of pine trees and around the shed. We also put 5 viburnum amongst the pines.

The back left corner has a rhododendron and some hollies.

Fred's Shed is surrounded by azaleas and boxwood. The curtains have not been hung yet.

More azaleas, rhododendron, and hollies bridge to the Bradford pears.

Next we put 2 dozen bushes and lots of smaller plants near the left side.

View from the deck showing the bedding plants and the expanded dry river bed. Sometimes we get a lot of water through our yard, and the rocks help control it. The sump pump and one downspout also empty into the rocks.

The start of the new bed. Shown are a holly, mountain laurel, and more azaleas.

The view from the opposite direction. The three bushes are forsythia.

Once the construction was done, we put plants by the chimney and shrubbery beside the deck and basement stairs.

The nandina and overgrown pyracantha were replaced with dwarf nandina, mums, and daylilies.

A buffer of river jack (white rock) is between the bushes and underside of the deck.

The deck is surrounded by Japanese holly which have smooth leaves.

The row of holly continues beside the basement stairs.

The dying tree has been removed from the area by the stairs. Lights have been added to the stairs.
