Landscape question
Posted on 3/13/24 at 2:26 pm

I am looking to replace a section of my landscape.
The right side of my flower bed with the rows of the boxwoods under those trees are all about dead. I am looking to dig them up and replace them with something else.
What would yall replace them with? More boxwoods?

Not boxwoods.
Here’s some options, article from the lsu ag center.

I've read the same article. I am leaning to the Dwarf yaupon holly. I think those look the most similar.

It’s taking me all I can to convince my wife we’re not putting boxwoods. Our neighbors directly across the street (like you can’t look out our front window and not see them) installed boxwoods within the last few years and they already have dead ones. And somehow she still wants them.

I'm not a fan of boxwoods, if ordinary and over used was a bush.

We are going with compacta Hollys. How far apart are you planting?

I have no clue. Whatever the guy at the nursery tells me honestly. I don’t know where to start.

Ask your nursery guy for something that grows well in your area that tolerates partial shade and is drought and disease tolerant.

I asked two different landscapers how far apart to plant and got two totally different answers. One told me two feet apart the other told me about a fist width apart between the leaves to make a border within a year. I think I will go with 2 ft apart to save money. They will eventually make a border just takes a little longer.

Soft touch holleys are the way to go!

OOO I like those.

If you want something simple, I’d just fill the area with super blue liriope. If not maybe agapanthus. I’d keep it low with those holly trees in there
