Landscaping has Begun!

Today’s the day! Landscaping for Royalview has officially begun!

The crew at Eagle Improvements showed up bright and early today, and it’s been a blast already. Willie and I have been so excited to get things going over here, and Eagle was been with us every step of the way in regards to design, budgeting, and choosing the right plants for the look we’re going for, as well as the hardiness of different species for our see-saw weather here in Southeast Texas.

This morning you guys, was a very special treat. Keren and Albert of Eagle went plant shopping with us! We’ve been sending pictures back and forth, Keren has visited several garden centers, and has sent us numerous pictures, but they thought it may be beneficial to shop together since we have a garden center not too far from us here. So yay! A field trip today!

We’re going for a casual, by the lake look, with varying green tones, whites, blues and purples.

Here are a few pics of our visit to the garden center and plants we’re loving:

We are choosing gardenias because of the beautiful deep green leaves and very fragrant white flowers.

And look at these little beauties. These are Lanai White Imp. Trailing Verbena. I love the white flower clusters.

Keren spotted these right away! And there’s Albert. These two are so artistic and creative, and know which plants are going to be perfect for our setting. They are such a joy to collaborate with.

Here are a couple more hedges that we’ll be utilizing. I know that one is named Wax Leaf Texanum.

These are my favorite, that I’ve been asking for, Big Blue Liriope! They will have purple blooms.

Keren found these really pretty plants called Dwarf Lily of the Nile. I’m really loving the blue and white flowers on these.

Here’s one more little flowering plant. I cannot remember this one’s name, but the flowers are a really pretty purple.

We’re of course, very excited to see how everything will come together. The crew has made great progress today in getting things cleared and cleaned, and have begun digging out the grass in areas where they will be installing walkways and planting/seating areas.

Here are the computer art pictures that Keren sent us to give an idea of the completed look:

We’ll keep you up to date as Project Royalview continues, so stay tuned! Please be sure to subscribe by email to get new post alerts.

Till next time, stay safe and follow your joy! God is truly good!
