Wordless Wednesday - We had a Vision

Three years ago when installed landscaping at our new house, we knew what we wanted and planted, what we thought, would wind up being our vision. The first year, it looked so baren; year two, we began to see filling in and our vision becoming reality.

Last year, we had landscape lighting in the front, back and side of our home and were very pleased with the results.

Night lighting

 

This year, the night vision is finally what we anticipated we would eventually have - and so is the landscaping! With all of the rain that we've had this year, everything has simply exploded with growth. The Snowball Hydrangea (top right) has grown by leaps and bounds and now, with the lighting, we are finally to 'see' what our vision was 3 years ago!

I wish the lighting was better on this shot but, one day, I will be able to capture it perfectly - we'll see! That may take another 3 years so, stay tuned!

Happy Wednesday!

Lighting can really make a difference, you for sure had the vision! Here, in the high desert, where water is sparse, zeriscaping is the way to go!

Much of my landscaping was a plan for the future look of the home.  took 4-5 years to become a reality

It looks great Debe - It takes a long time for landscaping to reach it's full potential. It just takes a vision and time.

Debe, it took some patience but, it sure was worth it! Just beautiful, I really like that nothing is too crowded but, that you still have great coverage. Love the water feature too!

Hi Debe, 

I hope you don't mind me taking liberties with your picture. 

I took a screenshot and tried to lighten it up a little. I didn't realize I cut off top of the pic. Lightroom really works wonders. Many of my pics are taken with an iPhone. My husband has a professional camera but we use that just for shooting homes.

That is a fantastic way to further show off what is hidden by the dark of night Sheri! Well done.

Good morning Debe Maxwell, CRS, everything starts with a vision, then comes all the hard work. Sometimes, it takes longer than planned but that's OK. You did a great job, really like the lighting. I would be staring at this beauty all night long if I were you.

Lighting does make the difference. We have electrical run to three places in our 1960's home backyard and are contemplating what to do now so thanks for the inspiration.

Lighting can really do a good job accenting the landscaping at night.

Good luck and success.
