Beck your plans sound great and glad to hear all that ambition, imagination, and vision at work. Would have been nice if you could have struck a deal with the contractor on the (usually finance required ) foundation plantings (usually sub- contracted). I also want to ensure you are aware of http://mdc.mo.gov/newsroom/avoid-invasive-trees-such-bradfor... . There are sooo many beautiful southern trees, soooooooo many fragrant southern trees, I have tree potential envy. http://www.tytyga.com/Flowering-Trees-s/1829.htm and http://homeguides.sfgate.com/star-magnolia-tree-39492.html . Then there is just majestic ! as seen at Lee's Hq. in Colonial Heights, Va. "The world's second largest "cucumber tree" or Magnolia acuminate spreads its massive undulating deciduous branches across the grounds. Planted in 1833, the tree's girth is 21.5 feet."
