Here are a few photos of the backyard in early spring. There is a 16ft x 25ft concrete patio on the back of the house. The entire property was professionally landscaped in 2008. At this time of year, the 3 flowering pear trees and the daffodils are the stars of the show. In the right rear corner of the yard is a clump red maple that really shines in the fall. Along the back fence are ornamental grasses (a combination of whipgrass and switchgrass) that create a lush green backdrop in the summer months. There are also double knockout roses in the front and back yards that bloom all summer long.
The steel dome climber in the right corner is non-permanent, and will not stay with the house.
