Default Buying trees and shrubs

I am now off to go look at shrubs and trees for the front of my house.

Since it has been raining the last couple days I have to wait to lay in my walkway...ok I don't have to I just hate the rain. So I am going to go check out items for the landscaping portion of this project.

Arborvitae and Boxwood are two of main interest right now, but I guess we will see what catches the eye and what will do well in the soil around here.

No the Arborvitae will be a bit taller for the front of the house but not exactly privacy and the Boxwood is for along the walkway.

I need to see the growth pattern of the two side by side to figure out if they are going to work as a combination. If not I will be seeing what else will work.

Neither am I, but you can hedge them both to make small shrubs of them.

I'm looking to put in some Japanese Maples amongst other bushes and plants in my backyard. It's just been too damn hot. h:
