Out with the pines, in with the maples and pears
{before}

{after}

The yard guys came today and finished widening the front bed. They brought a red maple and an ornamental pear tree. Those, along with the live oak we planted last year should provide some nice shade and screen the house.
It will look much better once the trees and crepe myrtles fill out for the season.

I noticed you had the landscapers remove some pine trees. Do you mind disclosing the company you used?

I was happy, but thought his price was a bit steep.
