Trees Taller than Our Home
As Monica and Cory Johnson were beginning their family, their cottage in Quail Valley was not big enough to accommodate their growing family. But they wanted to stay in Quail Valley with its mature trees and vistas. Little did they know what Hurricane Ike had in store for them. Three weeks after their move in they had one of their tall trees in their swimming pool courtesy of Ike.
They took the opportunity to create an easy-to-maintain tropical look with palm trees, hibiscus, other palms, potted ferns and a vine covered arbor.
The kids have a play area with a water fall and hibiscus that serve as a "buffer zone", but also has areas to watch kiddos play or enjoy sunning by the salt water pool.
Despite the wide expanse of golf course and open space, the Johnsons have created an intimate and inviting setting, but Monica laughs and says, "they may have to fence it off from the kids."
Monica grew up in Quail Valley and her cousin, Jeffery Blume, was designer of the highly rated, updated El Dorado course at Quail Valley Golf Club. Come see how this young family has found a place to raise kids and enjoy the outdoors and nature without a lot of hassle.
