So, kind friends, my landscape-architect friend is coming for Labor Day, but I'm still brainstorming, so what do you think of this? I planted a couple of Italian cypress trees in front of the house two years ago. And then some. I plan to be in this house for the duration, but for the sake of resale value, I wonder wd it be worthwhile to design pergola so that it's basically just the underpinnings of a roof, in case the next owner wants to cover it. And for the most flattering effect the plantings should be planned so there are multiple elements present resulting in variations such as taller, different kinds of shrubs at the corners of the house than are below the windows. I'm beyond blessed to live in such a house. Also if these are not a small-growing cultivar, and you are planning to plant replacements one of them would have been quite adequate to fill the entire space shown.

Tops going brown in sections like that is thought to be typical of winter injury to conifers. The other one that the deer always ignored is doing much better. I have two camellia bushes that, when I bought them, I thought were the same -- and both do bloom red; however, they bloom at different times so they're likely not the same.
