We moved into our new home 2 months ago and have started on the landscaping project which , as you will see from the photos, it BADLY needs. :) Please know that the little plantings you see now are GONE along with the rotted lumber that made the "flower beds". This poor house has gone thru a big transformation already. You couldn't see the FRONT of the house AT ALL prior to all the shrubs being taken out.

We are looking for a very clean, low maintenance type of yard. The grass has grown in some more, however we have some ideas of what we KNOW we want. We just need someone with a better eye to help us pull the rest together. The plan is to DIY the boring gray walkway with a faux wood cement look pulled off by paints.

We really love tall modern planters in copper/black/dark gray, but not entirely sure what sizes to get nor how to place them. We just can't seem to agree on that aspect :( We DO agree on using black round pebbles to line the entire garden bed around the 3 windows.

- Corner window "ground space" allows for bigger pots, but how many should be place in total? Should they all be the same size/type?
- What should we place around the main door to bring some life to the porch?
- The area under the staircase window will become a seating area. We are thinking black adirondack chairs...thoughts?

Help is appreciated! can't wait to see what ya'll come up with. I"ll post up some images of things that have caught our eye.
