Not quite finished

The fellow was late showing up and was only able to spend a few hours , but he managed to get all of the soil spread, and all of the plants into the ground.  Tomorrow he will come back to add the landscaping fabric and mulch.  Over all he did a little more than we had originally discussed, so we expect the final damage to be more than we anticipated, but still manageable.  There was no way we could have done it all ourselves, so worth every penny.

Here is how all of the little plants clustered around Lion, to spend the night

first thing in was the Tall Lime Hydrangea on the South side of the stairs.  It will grow to about 4 feet tall, and fill out quite a bit, but willhave smaller flowers..  He then spread soil throughout this whole section of the garden, as we had discussed splitting the Hosta come fall--they are quite root bound.  Not surprising considering that we transplanted them from the house on Woodside.

Now, I'm not sure what these all are,but I know the one in the corner is a drought resistant miniature Maple, what will go through several colour changes over the course of the year.  It will grow to about 4 feet high.  Can't remember what the one next to it is, but the third one in that row is another Hydrangea, one that will have the big ball-shaped flowers.

Then in the corner by the driveway, is a juniper, that will go to about 7 feet tall, with a 2 1/2 to 3 foot spread.  There is a middle row that is hard to see.  It consists of three plants with darker leaves that will grow up to about 2 feet high. My rocks will go between them

 The very front row is smaller ground cover plants that will only be about 6 inches high, but will spread up to 2 feet.
