We actually have green grass as of today - we'll see what they do tomorrow!
Amazing process!

Hi Peg,

When do you close? We are on Evinston Court and I think the house next door has an oak right in front of the bedroom window. We close 1/23 so we don't know yet what we have.

I know that when we put "new" plants in here it takes awhile for them to look nice. I'm thinking that if we leave the landscape the way it is, it could look wonderful.

I'm like UptownGirl that I don't know anything about Florida plants and will need to learn. I also like doing my own work.

I've heard people say they hate that pine needles they put in the landscaping, but I think there may be a reason for it. I saw one house that had it removed and all the plants were dying! I don't know if that's why. I wondered if maybe they needed the pine needles to keep the moister in???
