The snow broke down the cedar hedge along my property line adjacent to the driveway, and it had to come out. I wanted it out anyway - the cedars were not sufficiently fastigate - they were at least three feet in diameter and edging out my car. They were scratchy and aggressive to anyone accidently bumping them. When pruned back too severely they didn't resprout but stayed barren and ugly at the base. They had ivy and poison ivy growing through them.
My neighbor on the other side of the hedge suggested he hire a crew and take it down. Hooray! It got done and it looks fine. He got enthusiastic about helping me out and cleaned out the packed gravel at the place where the driveway jumps the curb and now I've got a big bump to climb over when I park my car. I'll ask my helpful neighbor Paul for ideas on what to do there. (Pour my own cement?)
I want a fence there - something that lets light and air through, that I can grow vines on. I'll discuss with the neighbor when I get home.
