Bye Bye Bush, Hello Japanese Maple!

Last Spring we found out that our bush near our front porch was very sick with spider mites. It was essentially dead in the middle and never grew or bloomed. After trying everything under the sun to get in back to its healthy state, we decided it was beyond fixing. So Joe removed the bush and now we have a beautiful Japanese Maple in its place. I have always wanted a Japanese Maple, although they are expensive, they are so beautiful! Here are the pictures of the front yard space before, and after.
