ms_magellan Yes, they are cedars. I've thought of that option and wrapping the cedars along the entire fence but I get stuck on how to plant them in the rocky hillside. I probably have to raise the bed and level the area. Seems like a pricy option.

Greener Living Solutions, Inc Yes that may be one of the options. Or remove more grass and plant there if the conditions are better. Pines can tolerate poor soils, if they are given a good start and planted smaller.
