A current job with incredible modern ca. 1970 architecture, revived with a superior architect ca. 2014, has major challenges.
.
Garbage cans, 4 of the hurly-burly-honkers, in front of the house.
.
And.
.
Minimal parking trying to shoot you & your car off a cliff.
.
Welcome home.
Have never dealt with this parking problem.
.
Solution?
.
Balls or low flat planters.
.
.
Have gathered several resources for both and look forward to what the client chooses.
.
There is more than 1 right answer.
.
Better a car is dented than shot over the hill.
.
I adore problem gardens.
.
I'm hired to solve problems.
.
Balls with plinths would be awful, want 3 balls, top pic, without plinths.
.
If they choose the low planter, I do like its plinth. And want a round large ball of chicken-wire covered in small leaf ivy and drip irrigation.
.
Their lifestyle is more suited to the Balls. Less maintenance.

I'd choose the planters just for more opportunities to garden. It'll be interesting to see how you solve these issues no matter what the customer decides.
