Landscaping

bury a few dog bones & maybe he'll take care of it for you...
:LOL:

I'm sure I don't have to tell you to space those suckers far apart. I was told 5 feet - should have been more like 10 feet. I put 3 of those in about 6 years ago. They easily got 8 to 10 feet wide & about 15 to 20 feet high. From growing together like they did - it cut off air supply (not enough air moving through the branches) & they began to develop mildew & I had to cut one of them down.

Not sure I can save the other two.

You could probably cover the section of fence by using 3 to 4 of the bushes you have there.

They are crap plants, but they serve the purpose I need. Trimming 2-3 times a year you can keep them the way you want.

Your back is thanking you. Mine curses at me when I decide to transplant 8 - 10' white pines or white birches from the "24/7 Across The Street Nursery"... As the years pass, and the "inventory" of the larger trees has dropped, I'm working with 3 - 4' trees now and my back is far happier...

But your wallet is much happier than mine.

But my back ain’t.

Your post was a call to action. Too cloudy & dank to work on boat so I figured I’d get some trees. Liberated 3 white pines, 1 white birch and a slew of tiger day lilies. Problem is I’m shot and I still have to plant ‘em.

A little more green in the garden.
The hosta I just removed from underneath the Arborvitae I plant a couple years ago. Arborvitae grew so much they where covering the Hosta, I expanded the bed 3 feet out to give room for the hosta and whatever other flowers I plant.??

Your work is impeccable, but when the time comes, you really should consider retiring to a land of low-maintenance landscaping...

Hostas, Rhodys, etc.??? Why? The deer will only eat them...

Water the lawn?? Why?? The birds won't complain, and saves you from mowing which means more time to fish...

Bag the leaves?? Why??? Just slap on the backpack and blow them into the woods because you chose NOT to have your entire lot covered by grass...

Remove the moss from the lawn?? Why??? It's green...

Etc...

I want to redo my front beds with just shrubs of different heights but I’m not sure what to buy. Any thoughts guys?

Post a pic of the area you want to plant, what direction it faces and how much sun /shade does it get.

Your open to just about anything. You can take the clump of hosta and divide it up to make a border along the cobblestone.Like I did in the backyard picture.
As far as trees and shrubs I don’t know what you like you could very small weeping Japanese maple on the left and on the corner you could put a weeping redbud it all depends on your taste in the middle you could put a couple of small evergreens like Mugo Pines , ilex, Euonymus,azalea, boxwood. The choice is yours ??
