We were asked by a friend to help her with the landscaping for her yard.
Madonna is also trained as a Master Gardener, so …
As a favor to her we agreed to provide a landscape design for the front of the property and part of the back.
We decided to do it pro-bono to decide if we want to and should also offer landscaping services to our other clients.
She wanted a yard that was very low on care (water, weeding, and etc.).
So …
We used mostly native plants and eliminated most of the grass.
The landscape was designed as a “zero landscape,” meaning that all plants were to be native to South Florida with no watering system.
The plants that were picked are drought resistant and need little water once the roots are established and are therefore very low maintenance.
Here is one of the Before Picture of the front yard prior to any of our landscaping work there:

Here is one of the After Picture of the results of our landscaping of this same front yard:
What do You think of the Results of this Landscaping Project?
Pretty Dramatic difference!, isn’t it?
and doesn’t this home have a lot more “curb appeal” than it did before?
We had several helpers in the execution of this now beautiful ‘yard.’
Paris and his helper hauled and placed the materials for us.
I don’t know if we could have completed it in the 11 days without you Paris!
Please Post Your Comments Here and let us know what you think of the results of this landscaping project and to help us decide if we should also offer landscaping services to our other clients, ok?

Though I would’ve loved it much more if you added a relevant video or at least pictures to back up the explanation, I still thought that your write-up quite helpful. It’s usually hard to make a complicated matter seem very easy. I enjoy your weblog and will sign up to your feed so I will not miss anything. Fantastic content
