Did you know Earth Day has been around since 1970.
It was created by Senator Gaylord Nelson and has reached over 175 countries worldwide.
The organizers of the Earth Day network will be launching the "Green Generation" campaign soon.
Remember chemical fertilizers will kill Butterflies, not just weeds.
Have a great Earth Day!

Here is the latest project this last week of April 15th. 2009.
Leyendecker Landscape designed and installed a new landscape in the wonderful community of Boulevard Green right off Bellaire Blvd.
It is a small, quiet and hidden architectural gem.
Leyendecker Landscape started by taking out the old deck, added a brand new deck in addition to adding a 2' privacy extension to the fence.
The client chose the perfect fountain from Joshua's Native Plants in the Heights.
Leyendecker Landscape installed the fountain along with the electrical needed to run it.
This is what it looked like before.
Thank you Ms Redel for giving Leyendecker Landscape the opportunity to serve your landscaping needs. It was a joy working with you :)

Leyendecker Landscape is experiencing the opportunity to update one of many units on Blvd. Green off Bellaire Blvd.
Wonderfully architectural housing built in the 70's. This tucked away community offers an amazingly quiet and peaceful experience. We have before and during shots of the project with more photos to come after the completion.
It has been a complete redo starting with the demolition of the old deck, the rebuild of a new deck and landscaping. There is still a water feature to install.
Watch out for the end results.
Please note: This landscaping project is considered to be a combination of partial sun and shade.
A variety of texture is important in this case.
All the best,
Portia

This is a project that was designed to change out color twice a year. We went with red for contrast and a warmer feel.
In the Fall, Cyclamen was the flower of choice. We went with red Geraniums for Spring.
These are pictures of the project in it's construction stage and after the plant installation.
Hope you like it.

This is by far is one of my favorite design/installations, now matured over 1 year, it gives me great joy to drive past this Heights Home.
This is a true native garden that attracts many varieties of Birds and Butterflies.
Probably my favorite style to install. It is really not hard to keep up with and it adds such curb appeal for the property.
You can't go wrong investing in your home.
The fence came from Atkins Architectural and really makes this quaint landscape extra special.
The homeowner has really become quite the gardener. Ms. Suhr is busy playing and teaching music, she travels to Idaho a few months out of the year and still manages to keep this little paradise looking fantastic all year around.
Leyendecker Landscape crew installs custom fence.
This is the photo I took when first meeting with the client.
another before shot for the design process.
This design/installation costs less than a mid-size car.
This improvement will not depreciate, will not lose momentum in the stock market - it will only add value to the homeowner's property.
Invest in yourself!
