Yard of The Month

614 Opal Ln

We’re so excited and grateful to be picked for October’s Yard of the Month! We moved in almost three years ago and have put a lot of love and work into updating the landscaping from what was here before. It’s been really important to us to create a space that not only looks nice but also gives our pollinators a place to hang out. Being nominated really means a lot—we’ve been working toward this and are so happy to be recognized. We love Halloween and always have a blast decorating for the holidays, so this time of year is one of our favorites. We truly love this neighborhood and are happy to add a little beauty to it through our yard.

Thanks again, Bailey and Madison"

    We bought the house almost three years ago, and the yard started as a slightly neglected blank slate. Since then, we’ve worked to transform it with native Texas plants and a more waterwise approach. We've added several new beds—including the large corner bed and an herb garden—and planted many varieties of sage, salvia, and grass throughout. We even replaced a section of the front lawn with granite. It’s been a labor of love, full of trial and error, but bringing the space back to life has been incredibly rewarding. We’re so happy others are enjoying it too!

    We worked with a reasonably priced landscape architect from Upworks and had local nursery input for low maintenance, arid, native plants that could withstand our summers and winters.  Jennie is a fan of wispies (Muhly Grass) and color so we planted bee balm and sundrops.  The rocks were way more expensive than we thought they would be but we love them.  The front is our favorite room in our house.  We knew we wanted a sitting area and Corten steel that was tiered.  Up close to the house is a combination of Italian Oregano and Rosemary that has thrived in the  shady area on the top tier.

    We were so thrilled to see that our yard won for July this year. We've been trying to get a spring or summer win for a long time and so happy that this was the year considering all of the hard work we put in to it. We planted 200 jumbo Caladium bulbs and really focused on annuals that could flourish in a half sun / half shade yard that the high winds the past few years had decided for us with the trees above.  Thanks again and stay cool!
