Submitted: June 31, 1998 Landscaping: 1069 Riverside There are two Yew bushes located in the front of the dwelling that obstruct the view of the house from the street and also the view from the house to the yard. These bushes have not been adequately cared for or pruned, which has led to the present situation that can be seen in the accompanying pictures. The front view of the property shows the size of the bushes which are approximately six feet high, seven feet wide. The bush to the right of the doorway (facing the street) is approximately five feet deep, the one to the left is approximately seven feet deep. Both bushes are woody with little foliage if viewed from the side, please refer to photo two and three. The yews have grown with a lean away from the house creating an overhang ( this is especially evident on the right) which is affecting the lawn beneath the overhang and foreshortens the yard. The plan would include the retention of the Crab Tree located at the east corner of the house, the removal of the two Yews and the planting of a Spruce on the west corner to balance the Crab Tree.Two holly bushes will be planted to the right of the doorway. Lilies, Impatiens and Moss Roses will fill in from the house to the lawn between the crab tree and the holly.
