Comments (38)Moving the trees is not really an option ... it's expensive with 30-foot trees, and they probably not survive. As they mature, they will fill out into lovely classic "Christmas tree" shapes. Eventually they develop a high-branched, billowy upper growth. The problem is that they are too big for their "island" in the grass, and it's looking like they will fall out of it. . ... enlarge the island and make the trees blend with the forest by blending the tree's under plantings into the woods behind them, getting rid of the grass. You could have a small private sitting area between the cedars and the woods. Ferns? Azaleas? Rhododendrons?...See MoreHedge row blahs
Comments (1)Forsythias just need really serious pruning once or twice a year, after the blooming is over, to look their best, and are pretty tough. Blueberries are difficult to grow if you have the wrong type of soil. How about something that is evergreen? Ask your local nursery for ideas about the best slow-growing, tough, bush-type evergreen or boxwood in your area....See MoreGet Rid of Holly Bushes at Driveway?
Comments (12)Never underestimate the value of mature landscaping ...try adding a few more smaller shrubs around these larger trees so they don't look like sore thumbs..may be a curvy shaped mulched area with the added smaller shrubs will turn an eyesore into an asset...See MoreBlueberry Bush Help
Comments (2)Blueberry are pretty easy to care for. Cut two or three canes a year in early spring, keep the soil mulched and acid. Spray with a fungicide. Check with your local garden center but something like sulfur. Since they have been overgrown for a while cut back more severely perhaps by a third but not totally sheared off. Your harvest will be less for a year or two but what berries you do get will be bigger. How lovely to have a blueberry party, what fun!...See More
