Landscaping Rennovation Occurring in Our Neighborhood

Our new landscape manager is going for low maintenance types of plants.

Low maintenance bird of paradise.

Cinnamomum Campora aka Camphor trees have arrived to be planted along Derbyshire.

Pipes and positions and planting locations are clearly marked on the grass above and on the sidewalk below.

Digging and planting has begun so these large beautiful trees can have a new home.

In the background of the camphor tree are the low maintenance approved plants:  flax and what looks like some type of small palm.

Black plastic sheeting used to line planter box.

Landscaper is lining a wooden planter box with black plastic to keep it from rotting away from moisture.

Bird of paradise plants go in after the old high maintenance plants were removed.

This old giant of a tree over by the pool was the inspiration to plant all the new camphor trees.  It's supposedly the only camphor tree in the neighborhood and was determined to be so low maintenance and lovely that it was the species chosen for the new plantings seen above.

I hear that healthy old trees like the low maintenace bottlebrush tree will generally be left untouched by these landscape changes.  To see more pics of the bottlebrush and many other plants that could stay or go keep tuned to my future posts.
