" You've got a different plan but we're standing in front of a little. -- a New England jungle here went to tell us a little bit about this well to give the back of the house and particularly the kitchen area some real interest. So that as you look out of the windows in the summer and spring and fall you get the night shimmering leaves of the birch poplar in the wintertime. You get this nice exfoliate in bark of this black birch. That will then contrast is our neighboring paper -- neighboring white purchased and it's gonna nice pink collar that goes with picks up some of the plumb of the house and but it it doesn't screen house on the road but it gives you a sense of separation yet -- all of -- they'll probably get 225. Feet tall and they'll fill out together. And one thing not to worry about if you look at birch growing naturally in the wild birds grow very close together and so. Trying to keep them apart so branches don't -- and things like that and inches is not an issue it's it's really a very natural conditions for them and I let me give you one little surprise question here are they healthy tree yes yes and there are they're reasonably drought tolerant. Yeah they're not as long alive to lived tree as the always sure -- and things like but -- site. Certainly for our considerations it's it's fine and then you've mixed in a lot of this red twiggy material under it that's as part of the dogwood family. Problem it is a red stem dogwood so that again you have very nice interest enough in the wintertime but it's a bush not a -- push it does get if you leave it alone it will get to be in the eight foot height. But it's a great bush to trim for flower arrangements I don't during the summer need this barricaded -- and it will it will basically fill in and so this is up. Kind of a wonderful secret. Privates and right front entrance to my kitchen door which you couldn't change your kitchen. We still have. The issue of approaching. And there yup we're standing right this area here in the kitchen story here yeah. Yes and so these are your birch trees that we just looked at villa with that with the dog with the redstone dogwood underneath -- and then as we. As we move across. Armed with the sidewalk and street here that this will be some -- stuff right off on in front of us that sub. That dies back in the in the winter entirely and then comes up. And it's a great plan to use would evolved because of the bulbs grow up and finished yet the hostage now coming up -- you don't need to go treat that leaves and things that and that has been the main challenge in the assignment here was to design. Low maintenance garden that would be very pretty in the spring and in the fall but they would never see a lawnmower. That's right what do you want -- here and so this is ground cover and if we if we'd go over here. What we've done is we've mast. Rhododendron and azalea is we have we have combine different colors between this. This Abigail Adams which -- which has this nice Russert belief in the fall yeah nice pink flower. And that's that's an azalea that's an azalea this of the in the system. Delaware white that would be white but these guys don't lose their leaves in the wintertime right or semi evergreen Sutherland -- And then you move to your routed endurance. Which problem. Don't lose their leaves either but because rhododendron -- plants that are evergreen. Armed new transpire moisture when it gets really called they curl so that they reduce the amount of surface area exposed -- and these. There's -- rule of thumb. The smaller delete the smaller the rhododendron in the larger the lead the higher they -- so these look at but civic well they'll get up toward your windows. This won't be on I'll -- sort of -- not be mass in -- they -- the colors of bloom speak yet why. To pink with a little Sam any pink in the Abigail Adams cents charity out. And that and the -- think. And then this. It's all being cut in here are myrtle or dark green ground cover stays green all your -- a blue flower in the spring. But will be this will be filled with spring ball so we still have a couple of big trees going and going you have. Starting at the middle here yeah and here. And in over there they'll be three. Crap about crab apples. And the purpose of putting in there opposed to next to the house where more normally they're seen. Is that we're creating an outside room for the house. And defining mistreated -- the views from the house. We'll really be defined by the locations of these trees as I was of course the picket fence that we're gonna put up and then you have that seasonal interest of the berries and things and end up. Speaking of various we've line here -- now standing in the front walk became the front walk this line and each side with this blue. Princess holly. And an order for the blue princess to have -- we need -- blueprints over here so this is -- our -- that's the press the prince never has various problems. But the princess does. So we've got holly at the front door but the main thing is you've redesigned the whole approach both for people and for cars off the street right. Right and trying to get it so that the cars out right in your front walk right so we have a bluestone front walk leading up to stairs that are being built right the bushes that come to define an apron to the cars this is what you call the eight -- the -- now have bluestone wouldn't and then you have a parking place for one car. With additional space. As as to whether our or. Your family requires right able to pull up. Further down in toward the guard right will be able to attend a park a couple of cars and the blue stone which is a native stone you're doing that we'll dress all of this areas and out of the house story entrance but this this just concrete. But the matrix of the concrete will be dressed with this. This local crushed stone aggregate which is called rubble stone which has this purple caps to. Again to build on the house and nice job thanks through their redesign it now the construction of this is interstate you -- some standing and all this blue stuff this is rigid insulation. And of course I'm stepping in between the reinforcing rods that's to make sure that. Our six inches of concrete for this parking area never cracked on -- but CDs orange line here between John and frank that they're stringing out. These are. Tubing for hot water from the furnace inside the house which will magically make sure the snows melt in the wintertime."
