Comments (3)I love seeing photos of landscaping, too. It is great for ideas and inspiration. To tide you over with some juicy photos, I linked a website called "Landscaping Ideas".

If you haven't baked the cake yet, asking how to ice it is a bit moot....See MoreHelp with asymmetrical ranch house front foundation plantings
Comments (5)Because of all the trees at the left side, you do not need to plant a tree at the left side of the house ... but you do need to unswamp the right side of the house from all the low hanging foliage of the tree there.
