īut if you were to diversify your screen.

I have gotten rid of ALL my upright junipers.

as the goal is not a happy independent tree. tag sizes mean absolutely nothing in this project. you will have your screen some time w/in the next ten years. Spacing for a privacy screen is dependent on size at purchase. And i do like to enjoy a beer on the patio when i am done in the yard! A few more pics. I do alot of Tropicals in the summer and love dahlias. We use Lebanon ProScape products and also in the summer we will put down an application of Milorganite to get a little green. I take care of all plantings and he takes care of the lawn. (we back up to common ground, so we do some plantings there too) My husband helps me with the heavy work. I think we were in our house a good seven years before i did the front and side foundation plantings! We put in 5 new trees this year. I've also nurtured Bald Cypress from seed and planted them around the pond and Iris too. But just about everything else in the yard i planted. In the early years we had the patio, Spruces, Magnolia and some of the Bald Cypress installed. My mom has Ajuga ground cover growing in a part of her lawn and it is tough to get out. I am afraid you will either have to kill everything or hand pull it. I looked it up and it appears to be a ground cover. I thought it was the plant I have in the pot with the Brugmansia on the patio. Hi Maguire, I'm not familiar with Blue Star Creeper being in the lawn. I have found all green plantings look great with that shade of green. I would stick away from a straight hedge look b/c you already have so many straight lines. When you get to landscaping, I would consider some pyramid shaped conifers to break up the flat roof. (It used to be painted the Dry Basil color I mentioned before.) It is not easy to paint around landscaping, so I definitely recommend adding that after you paint. I'm not recommending the siding, just giving you a visual to reference. The front of my home is in this green shake siding from Certainteed. Get some life added with paint - you obviously hate it, so stick to what will make you happy first. Landscaping first would be like adding jewelry to a washed out face with no makeup.

I'm not a professional, but I still think if you stick with your original color scheme of green (not a harsh tropical shade), and possibly added some type of architecture to your front door area, it would be the best place to start. Some eye-catching planting on the right side of the house will also take your eye away from the huge garage door. This is where you landscaping can help out. A sky light would be good for light but it would become an unwelcome protuberance on the roof. Make sure the ceiling is painted a very light color to reflect light back into the entry vestibule. Next use a bright color on the front door to command attention to the entrance. Sample some colors and stand across the street to see which one works best. If you try to match one color from the brick even if it is the predominate brick color all the other colors in the brick will pop our. A note here- in choosing colors to blend with brick you have to pick a color that goes with the whole thing. I would select a darker tan that is a few value steps lighter than the brick but blends with the brick. You need to minimize it and move the focus to the front door where the human beings come. Right now your house says, ' Two cars live here!' Your garage takes up half the front facade and is the major feature of the the house. I think you are getting great input on your landscaping but your curb appeal needs other work as well.
