Even though the heat index was close to 100 the last two days my parents got the front landscaping all done. They even mulched today. They still have a little mulching tomorrow but the front of the house is done. We have some low spots so getting more dirt Thursday then we should be getting grass hopefully in the next few weeks.

You have wonderful parents who can do so much for you!

In 5 years, that tiny tree at the front will be about 4’, and its roots will be everywhere. Been there, done that; our trees have been gone 10 years, and we are still dealing with their roots.

It depends on what kind of tree it is. There are many small ornamental trees whose roots are not intrusive. I hope everything survives the heat. I hate to plant anything when it's so hot. Keep them well watered.

We had a professional draw up our landscaping plan. It’s a green mountain boxwood. She wouldn’t of put it there if that was the case.

Luckily it will be cooling way down after today. We are supposed to have a lot of rain tomorrow.

Three of those up by the garage are Bo Bo hydrangeas.. Next year when it blooms it will be so pretty.
That tree by the house only gets 3 feet.

Your parents did a great job! I'm sure you're pleased with the outcome.

I also thank you for sharing @ccassaday. What color will the hydrangeas be when they bloom? We have a blue one in our yard and it is absolutely gorgeous when bloomed.
