Hey,
My title is Criss and I dwell in Northeast Ohio. I’ve 2-1/2 acres with an previous farmhouse and buildings. I wished to ship some pics of issues I’ve been doing and including to my property. I’ve two separate backyard yards… east and west. Thanks to your time… Respect it.
That is within the west yard and the primary pic exhibits a grape arbor lined on it’s facet by an enormous holly bush.
I took out the holly and these images present the way it opened this space up. I added a backyard the size of the arbor and put stones round it.
A bit additional down the trail in the other way of the grape arbor, you possibly can see how the brand new backyard mattress works into the present design and is a a lot better match than the overgrown holly that Criss eliminated.
The following two pics are within the west yard, and the primary is a backyard behind my log cabin (I’ve despatched pics of it earlier than).
This can be a pure tunnel that was shaped by beautybush (Kolkwitzia amabilis, Zones 4–8) and couple of giant leatherleaf viburnums (Viburnum rhytidophyllum, Zones 6–9). I had no thought this was right here till I needed to transfer a bush out and noticed this and cherished it… So I added the sheep.
These are pics strolling into my east yard. I added the stepping stones a pair years again.
A 4 sq. backyard I made and determined to make some hedges. The larger hedge is about 3 years previous now and the one on the left I began final 12 months so it has a methods to go.
This pic exhibits instantly throughout from this backyard in the direction of the greenhouse and different backyard areas.
A fenced space the place I’ve herbs and a topiary backyard.
Lastly, the artwork in Criss’s backyard continues with this whimsical scene. A moss-covered trough nestled within the shade is the proper spot to let some stone statues inform a narrative.
