Re: AWing our new yard
It's huge! Look at all that space!
You definitely need some trees and shrubs in there!
LOL! Dh called it Mennonite Landscaping! We're thinking fruit trees, potentially a sound break in the front yard, and some sort of fenced in garden for me to play in. Woot!

Wow talk about a big clean slate! You could do a lot of things back there with a mix of vegetable gardens and flower beds. What are you thinking for a sound break? Tall trees and shrubs? I always like the natural haphazard looking plantings instead of the straight row of arborvitae but sometimes that is all that fits. Is there a busy road nearby or something?
With a riding lawn mower two pieces of advice... Use a buried edging like brick or pavers so you can mow right over it easily. We used composite edging for our first flower bed and have found it very difficult to mow along. The pavers we now use are tapered to make nice curves. They are also 7" deep so we can put the mower wheels right on them and follow the bed which is sooo nice!
Consider the size of the mower deck when creating all of your beds and fences or planting trees. Distancing a flower bed exactly two mower decks away from a fence/tree/etc. will make mowing a breeze. We have to work around large existing trees that aren't even one mower deck apart.
LOL! I will never understand why there are so many pools here in New England. That's the last thing we need...
