| I'm sorry if this is a double post. I posted, but it didn't show up. DH and I are wanting to remove the hedges put in by our home builder and get some nicer landscaping in. We are going to hire a landscaper from a local company to come draw some plans for us. I have been trying to find some pictures of what we like to show the landscaper, but I'm not having much luck. Are there any good websites with photos? Anyone willing to show pics of their landscaping?
We live west of Atlanta. 3 sides of our home get severe sun/heat for most of the day and the north side gets absolutely no sun. I think I would like some clean lined hedges in the back with flowers and ornamental grasses in front of them. |

| Wow. In Poland. That'll help. Destin, I'm not that sure you need pictures, because you sound like you know what you want, but if you do, head for your local library and look through the landscaping section. There are many books outlining principles and ideas; also magazines galore on the market. Used bookstores can be a treasure trove of both books and magazines. KarinL |
