When my husband and I moved to a new house, I knew that the outside was going to be my haven. I loved the big yard and I knew that it had tons of potential. I also knew that I wanted a Lantana hedge and I started reading everything that I could find about Lantana care.

After I had the hedge figured out, I started drawing up different landscaping designs that I wanted to be incorporating into the yard. The pictures that I had in my head of how it should look were so beautiful and I could not wait to have this oasis for myself.

I asked a friend, who has a beautiful yard of her own, if she had some landscaping design ideas that she could share with me. She came and looked at the yard and the ideas started to just flow out of her. We used a lot of her ideas, as well as many of my own, and I can honestly say that I have the nicest yard that I have ever seen.
