Tree for the front yard


The family went out to Menards today looking at flowers and trees. We were looking for anything interesting. We stumbled across the Red Sunset Maple and think it is perfect for the front yard. What do you think? I love the color red that it turns during the fall.

Tomorrow I will take pictures of how our new flower gardens are progressing in the front yard. Travis' grass is growing very well there (the best spot in the yard) so I am thinking the flowers will do great. He is not so upset with where the garden is placed but rather the shape has changed causing him to move around the sprinkler system a bit. Hopefully he doesn't have too much work to do this summer. He told me he liked how it was turning out.

FYI: This is not a picture of our home or our tree. We have not purchased the tree yet. We got this picture from the link above.

Our lillies are starting to open. I am so excited! I did not get a chance to go outside to look but from the inside I still like it a lot.

It sounds like the two of you (or should I say three of you)really are working hard! I bet it all looks greats, I look forward to seeing a picture of it. Since I can not just jump in my car and drove out there in a few hours any more. I think the tree would like great in the front yard. It would add a lot of color in the front of the house.
When you are done you are going to have the best house on the block!

Maple trees are good. Red maples are even better. Good choice. Beth, you gotta get out of the house and look at it. It's just not right looking at it from inside the house. It defeats the purpose. You can't gage curve appeal unless you are on the curve.
