Happy Halloween every one!

Hope you had a great day.
Mine was very productive as we completed the Smith building and the Charles Lewis rental property on Lamar. His personal property will need some additional attention but will look great when we are done.Two irrigation systems installed and also installed new Zoysia and Flagstone at Kevin & Nancy's. It looks great! Will down load before and after photos this coming week.

Have a great weekend!
Wooh!... what a week.

This day was amazing. The weather was great and I finalized a design for a client.
The design addresses the clients need for peace and calm with attention to texture and habitat attracting material.( The Wakasey Project)I will take before and after shots later. Having a little soup for dinner and watching CNBC.

Enjoy yourself!

November is almost here and the weather has been perfect for landscaping and gardening.
You can plant most anything you would in the Spring, just remember deciduous varieties will lose foliage around this time and until the last frost in late February.
Be aware of cold sensitive varieties like Gingers,many tropicals & decorative grasses will go dormant.
Feel free to ask me about anything you are not sure of.
The Fall season is actually better for planting in Houston, since it gets so hot in the Summer here. The plantings have more opportunity to develop a good strong root system before the extreme heat sets in.
Varieties of Roses, Azaleas, Camellias, Junipers and many herbs & veggies love cooler weather.

Get out and have some fun!

Happy Gardening!

What a gorgeous day today was and a Saturday off.
Having some down time and spending some with Deb, chatting with my friend Dawn and getting my PJ's on early. Just took a quick walk with my Black Pug Pepper in the front garden, contemplating working in it tomorrow a bit. Hmmm?? What to plant where??? It looks pretty good now, just something small in some places. Maybe Petunias for color and Pink Scull Cap and some Pink Salvia. The weather is wonderful, hope it stays a while. Got a call today to start a project in Cherry Hurst for Meredith and Justin. Yeah!!! Been looking forward to this one :)
Now it's movie and tea time.

Well it is about 6:30 at night and just finished a salad.
Looking out the window at a thunder storm that just moved in.
We really need the rain.

Finally wrapping up some of the proposed work for 5 of the federal buildings and getting ready to tackle Galveston.
After a short visit to Galveston, to asses the damage of Ike. I was saddened by all the destruction there.
Almost all of the vegetation there is wiped out. There is no sign of wild life, no birds. Nothing!
I could not believe my eyes.

It will be a long process to get it back to where it was or better.
will add photos later.
