The site was prepared for the landscape in 1993 and by the spring of 1994 the planting had already begun. We have very few pictures of the initial planting but this one shows you the front border along the driveway and to the left of the front door.
Hollies were planted at the corner of the house with several conifers and a lovely (but young) variegated Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Butterfly') shown behind the Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens f. glauca 'Fat Albert). Toward the back and still in its pot waiting for planting is European Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata')which will eventually block the view of the telephone pole from the driveway.
