Spring House and Yard Work

Today the tree trimming company came and trimmed the six towering silvermaples in our yard. In the summer the trees shade the house and deck, and make our yard a cool oasis. The trimmers removed the branches overhanging the house, cut off some of the lower limbs and opened the leaves to the sun. Tomorrow a paint company is coming to give us an estimate on painting the old aluminum siding. And in a few days, a landscaping company will remove the arborvitae from in front of the house, build up the flower beds and yard with fresh top soil and plant pachysandra, rhododendron and periwinkle. The landscapers will define the flower and tree beds with rocks native to the state. The will remove a rose of sharon bush. We are still deciding about replacing the 20 year old deck.
