01. Existing Plants

Who are you and what is your name?

The property is lush. It has many big trees and several large lawn areas. There is a majestic maple near the middle of the property, a mature red Japanese maple outside the kitchen window and over a dozen mature rhododendrons around the pool. Clearly someone had really cared about the garden back in the day.

Some of the existing trees are huge! My husband loves them. I think they may be a bit too big and imposing, but to be fair, they were here first so they get to stay. One thing that both my husband and I agree on is the stinging nettle and blackberries, they have to go!
