All the new plants have arrived! They are so beautiful!
For those just tuning in, all landscape design and installation is being performed by Eagle A. Improvements (apologies to Eagle for omitting the “A” in previous posts, but all links are correct).
Albert and Keren have really outdone themselves picking out gorgeous, full, and healthy plants. It was like Christmas when they arrived bearing these gifts!
Our color scheme of greens, with blues, purples, and white, is really coming to life with all of their plant choices, and for an extra bit of icing on the cake, Keren surprised us with Texas Bluebonnets!
We are so excited for these!
Albert chose some beautiful ivy to incorporate in our back tiered planting area, so that it can start flowing down the sides. Great idea!
Albert and Keren got right to work placing all the plants in the areas they had planned for them.
They’ve already planted the hedges along the front of Royalview.
While the plants are being organized, there is much more work going on at the same time in different areas. The workers are building molds to pour steps for our walkways.
When I realized what they were doing, I was so surprised. I thought they were going to just purchase some pavers to put in amongst white gravel to make our walkways, but no, and when I mentioned my surprise to Albert, he said they do not do anything just the regular way. They go the extra mile to make things really nice.
He is not kidding. Willie and I are super impressed with this team’s attention to detail on every level. If you’ve been following our landscaping series of adventures, you’ll know that Albert and Keren have gone plant shopping with us personally so we could pick out and discuss the types of plants that would be great for the color scheme, look, and feel of our property, plus the plants that would thrive in our environment. They always add a personal touch to everything they do.
Here are a couple of update pictures of our back yard.
Look how nice our tiered garden area is coming along! They have been placing these stones one by one and leveling everything as they go. All the backyard grass is going to be resodded as well.
They are working on better drainage for us since we live on a hilltop with our back yard hill area coming down toward our home. They are also installing irrigation systems for every planting area. That is going to be so nice.
Back steps are being poured as well. We have a generator and propane tank in our back yard. This will make it much easier for workers to check on these systems, and also easier for us to not have mud and dirt tracked across our back patio on every visit. Win, win!
We also have a small area that lies between our house and garage. This was piled with bricks that the former homeowner left behind. Eagle was able to utilize some of these bricks for our back tiered planting area, and the rest they are going to haul off for us. Albert advised that gravel would work best in this area. Due to the way it slopes down, it will make it easier to drain off when it rains. It is an unused area, so no need for grass maintenance here either.
They’re getting it prepped for white gravel.
It’s going to look so neat and clean, and no worries on upkeep.
Okay gang, onward and upward!
All the folks at Eagle “A” (thank you very much!) Improvements have gone out of their way to make this a wonderful experience for me and Willie, and to make sure that we are seeing our dreams brought into reality.
We could not be happier. Everything is exceeding our expectations on every level.
Till next time, stay safe, and follow your joy. God is truly good!
Johanna and Willie
