Working with a friend in need to help transfer their yard into something to
be enjoyed, and transformed into a healing and not so typical Florida yard.
The above is a sample of what the world sees via Google Maps' Street View. Not
much different as of February when we took on this task. Typical and original builder's
landscaping still holding on through most typical Florida landscaping service's generic
15 min. trim and butch cut. Lack of any substantial tree coverage that it still years if
not decades away to help protect and green up this yard. Selecting some plantings more
suited to the site will help with this transformation.
After three phases and lots of digging and water to help get us through our natural
dry season, but unseasonable temperatures, assures us a good start. More than half
of these plants came from a surplus of plants from my yard, I might add. Diligent
watering and some original water engineering on the owner's part is inspiring in
itself.
We have one the most diverse landscaping on the block. When our rainy season
starts to give this yard it's blessing the owner can hopefully be inspired to continue
this transformation.
Perhaps needless to say, having a project to look forward to and take pride in over
flows in immeasurable ways.
