Grafting
That last design with the walkway was really nice. Will you buy sod or plant grass seed? You have a beautiful home and will look fantastic once it is landscaped. Your home would pop out from the background once your trees and bushes are planted. Good luck.
Suggestion, try not to plant tall trees to close to your wall, someday the trunk will grow outside your fence .
When they make a hybrid the term is "grafting". Lots of nice trees and shrubs, looking forward to watching your landscaping evolve around your property
Looks great & wow what a price on the plants – brilliant
