Entry Garden - First impression

Project #1 - This is the front garden near the entrance gate, the area was overgrown, even though this garden wasn't that bad it looked neglected and was a mish mash of different plants.

We removed alot of the plants and the after photo is below.  I found the terracotta lantern in the back yard, bought some solar garden lights and had the local landscape supplier deliver some white rocks. 

The palm tree (Golden Cane) in the middle of the garden has some growing to do and in time this will be a tidy and low maintenance garden.

I think this looks much neater than before and this project took more of our manual labour than money to complete !
