Snack time: What type of snacks person are you?
Comments (11)I'm slightly ashamed, as normally it is fruit; however I have just finished grouting some tiling and am now having a break. My snack has consisted of two mince pies, a bar of chocolate and a large white wine and soda....See MoreEvergreen shrubs for patio
Comments (10)Love your terrace. Great time to plant evergreen shrubs, in fact any shrubs. You also won’t have to water much with all the rain we’ve been having. Some shrubs are evergreen and others are deciduous (lose their leaves in autumn). Be careful with large olive trees as they can find It hard to survive our cold wet winters, that’s why you see them more in Italy and Greece rather than the Lake District. Some easy evergreen shrubs that cope well (along with max height) are: Viburnun Tinus (8 ft) Photinia (8 ft) Fatsia Japonica (10-15 ft) Mahonia (6 ft) Euonymous fortunei (2 ft spreads outwards) Lavendar (1 ft) Choisya (6ft) Pittosporum (6 ft) its good to start with evergreens, then add a few deciduous shrubs (roses, butterfly bush, hydrangeas etc) and then you can add perennials (flowers that come up year after year) and bulbs such as daffodils. The RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) has a wealth of info on their website. Heres a few pics PHOTINIA EUNYMOUS VIBURNUM FATSIA JAPONICA...See Morecovering flagstones with an evergreen plant or another material?
Comments (8)Agree with Angie. Remove them and maybe gravel around the planting you have and extend the gravel to cover where the flagstones were, with sun loving tough plants such as thyme and creeping rosemary which will spill over and cover your wooden retaining panels. Appreciate you have already bought and planted the cordyline but if they die in winter what about lavendar? Just make sure the gravel is in a complementary colour to your patio....See MoreWhat type of handles for this type of door?
Comments (2)I like continuing a theme so if the handles match something else then that’s good- but not essential so don’t worry if something else doesn’t match. Separately I think on a door with strong geometric lines perhaps a handle with a square rose would be a better choice....See Moreforeverhomeandmore

Hi, ours are exactly the same. I am not aware of the variety name but the reason you don't see branches lower down is that they have been trimmed over years to give this shape. It's indeed a tree that is very much used as a fence because of its dense foliage. Ours surround our entire back garden giving lots of privacy (but you do loose a lot of space that way! We bought the place recently so nothing we can do and we quite like this green fence that makes u feel like you're in a maze).
on the second photo where we have a pathway to the right of the trees, I have not noted evidence of roots pushing up the stones, so I am inclined to believe that even when we'll established, the tree will not create much trouble with its roots. On the contrary, the birch trees that you can see have their roots protruding on the surface already!
If thinking of keeping: You should consider the fact that this variety seems to be prone to infection by spiders which when settled may turn the foliage brown (dead) which can is unsightly.If thinking of chopping: there are other bush varieties that establish quickly and deliver the same result and require less maintenance cost (ours cost £700 to trim over two days including waste disposal). But if you replace, it may take years to achieve the same height for privacy...
