Landscaping finally gets started

We finally got started on the landscaping the end of April.  Focusing on the area along the foundation on the front & street side of the house.  Plan is to start with a good based of perennials and then a few annuals scattered in and add on each year depending on how it all grows.  We got several roses of a couple types; some vines; Azaleas; blue-ball-bushes (hydrangea); these cool dark Dahlias;  Japonica and a few other things.

The best thing is that we got the flower beds/landscaping a new border.  It is a concrete border that looks similar to brick but is really quick & affordable.

We've only started on the front yard...back yard is overwhelming & overgrown.
The last two months we did start hauling away piles of junk from the back yard in trailer loads.  This is stuff that we inherited from the previous owner - including the torn down stairs & deck on the back of the house.  So far it has been two trips to the landfill & 1400 lbs of wood & brush - probably only one or two more trips.
