And you took these to show us an example of very odd design choices? Why the containers? The tall stump? The trees covering all windows?

Ohhhhh. Hsha I hadn’t seen the second picture!

I finished my first helping. More please. I'm a glutton for garden photos. I hope some more of your place is also on the menu sometime.

I've got a few tall stumps that I purposely left like that, nailed a pot drainage saucer to, and use them as bird and squirrel feeders.

yes , my neighbor , Terry has VERY odd design choices

this started out as noise screens

real awesome Picea omorika 'Nana'

Pinus aristatas and others

rather than moving , Terry trims

was big jap. maple

He's definitely not afraid to limb something up! I guess the rope work is because some are getting top heavy.

Buy hey, that's one of the cool things about gardening etc.....we all have our own styles , anything goes and there is no wrong.

I think the rope work is because last winter some things got bent over from snow

more

I think Abies concolor 'Area

And terry said soil got soft and allowed some plants to tip over ? ? ?

in this one bed , he had about 50 plants

OK, way back to 1st pic

Picea abies 'pendulas in planters are very old , and trimmed many times (shame)

I asked if he waters them ...he said when he pulled the deck out , the roots reached way under

He also started years ago with 2 rows of Hemlocks ( 200 of them ) on lot line

only a few left today

The bridge is real cool ... you need it cause the creek cuts his yard in two

What type of tree is that first one in your last 3 posted?

Very unusual lower trunk. Is that a graft union?

Yes, the bridge is way cool
Almost looks like a golf course...

Yes, I love bridges and creeks. So Ron, is part of his yard adjoining yours?

Bill - Pinus strobus 'Pendula"

Al - Terry has alot of time on his hands , and money for lawn chems.

ron

And the creek goes northwest across two more yards & touches the back corner of my yard

I want to find out how to save google earth pics

ALT+PRTSCR then paste into your photo editor.

The spruces in front of the house are 'Reflexa'. Which is the actual name of the so-called "Pendula" of general commerce.

The top-grafted dwarf Colorado spruce in the paved area looks pretty big. The weeping pines near it are having some kind of a problem, maybe herbicide injury if he likes to use a lot of that.

I think picea pungens 'Globosa' on standard

the white pines go yellow every winter ,,, although , all pavers are based with lime stone ... he would do well to add sulfer some how
