Landscaping Fun

Landscaping

Forgot to post this fun stuff along the way too! This is the first round of the landscape plans that Cara put together for us a few weeks back. We really love it + she did an amazing job with the budget + putting in all sorts of tropical things we like.

At the time when we met with her, we were still working on the pool design, so we will have to edit the backyard a good bit. No trees in the back (its WAY too tight back there) and just have it nice and clean and use pretty colored pots to add some color and greenery in the back.

The only huge hesitation we have is the two giant palm trees spec’d to put in front of the front door. Thinking after we took a look at the view from up there today….those trees may have to be a little bit smaller. The views are SO much more fun than we thought we’d ever have.

Landscape Architecting

Cara texted this past weekend and wants to meet to show us the concept plan for the landscaping at Mar Azul this coming weekend.

YEAH! That will be super fun and something exciting.

In the meantime, I took pix of the exterior and the lot so she can see how things are progressing and look at them against her concepts before we meet. Can’t wait to see what she’s put together and if we can do it ?

Planning

Darn it. Could it be true? Those crazy trees on our lot are the ONLY thing stopping us from starting the project? YES. Hopefully we can get moving without a perfect landscape plan.

It’s driving us nuts to see that overgrown lot of nasty Brazilian Pepper trees + weeds + who knows what else in there.

I’m wishing super duper hard we get approval this week and we can clear the lot and see what we’ve got!

Fingers crossed.
