There is a patch of dirt/old mulch here from the previous owners between the basement storm door and the porch. We do need access to the water spigot, so I don’t want to put anything here that would block it too much, and I’m also nervous about wires/water pipes underground this close to the house. What would you put here? submitted by /u/szechuan_sauce42 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m looking for advice on how to promote growth on my laurel shrubs. They are currently around 2-3 feet tall. Should I be pinching the flowers? In the photo they are circled in red. submitted by /u/theladyshady [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I had a landscaping/tree trimming company come out to look at this large overgrown juniper that is growing over the sidewalk.

Any ideas of what I should put in it's place? Preferably lower maintenance. I'm in the Midwest if anyone is trying to recommend specific plants.
