The community of Admiral Heights contacted us about updating one of their entrances. The circle pictured below was planted many years ago with nice flowering perennials but has since outgrown itself and reached a height that began blocking drivers' line of sight across the traffic circle. Original plantings at the entrance. Everything was taken out and set aside. But what about all of those nice plants?! Rest assured they were repurposed at several of the neighborhood parks in sensible areas where they could continue to enhance the neighborhood. Once we had a clean slate to work with, we planted boxwoods and several varieties of native liriope which will fill in and provide low-growing beauty at the entrance for years to come.

What a brilliant transformation in Admiral Heights! This post showcases your commitment to safety and aesthetics beautifully. I appreciate the thoughtful consideration given to the existing flora - repurposing the plants at various neighborhood parks rather than disposing of them is both eco-friendly and community-minded. Your choice of boxwoods and native liriope for their low-growing nature seems perfect for maintaining visibility for drivers, while still beautifying the entrance. I'm sure the residents are thrilled with this refresh. It's wonderful to see such dedicated and conscious landscaping in action. Great job!

This refresh must certainly be a delight for the residents. Keep up this fantastic work of improving neighborhoods with such thoughtfulness and creativity!
