Keeping up with the Newton's

Props to David for making the front yard a very nice place to view.  

When we bought this house (in 1993), one of the selling points for us was that the only thing that needed work were the yards; the rest of the house had just been remodeled.  Given the fact that David is a Landscape Contractor, it seemed like the perfect fit...except of course for the fact that the LAST thing he wants to do at the end of the day or the end of the week is work on our yard.  

In all fairness, he has done some major work on things over the years, such as putting in an entire sprinkler system, lawn and several trees, but we have never had everything done together.  The looming (and now past) graduation had me asking (without nagging, of course) if things were going to get done.  

With exception of the pilasters (artfully cropped out of the photo and promised to be done by the end of summer), I'd say that big points go to the big guy for making the front yard a beautiful place.

Our neighbors across the street have said that they certainly are enjoying the view.
