Friends in a 30+ year old home, with its original green meatball foundation planting mentioned taking them all out. Wildly, I mentioned, Perhaps Not. Especially since there are almost 40 green meatballs. Plenty of scope for the imagination.

Have fun with pruning for a couple of years, below.

Oh my the challenge of those straight lines, and foliage from top to ground. Bravo.

Have no idea how these evergreens, above, are pruned. I know I would have to pull several strings as guides, getting perfect perpendiculars and right angles.

Anyway. If your foundation plantings have become a morass of cliched green meatballs, perhaps a few perfectly formed green meatloafs? For a change, and whimsy.

Aha! I now feel like a total genius! I have hacked back some bushes that got way too tall and big; and am making round topiaries of them! They are chic! It is fun! (not doing rectangles.....string is against my religion) but I hate ripping plants out. They are looking really good!
Spread the idea!!!
