Don’t Make This Landscape Mistake. My Expensive Lesson!

Learn from my $1,000 landscaping mistake! Before you plant a tree near your house, see why I had to remove a mature Colorado Blue Spruce and the narrow evergreen I chose to replace it. That "rookie mistake" eventually turned into an expensive disaster involving tree removal, stump grinding, and sprinkler repairs. In this video, I’m sharing the full story of why we had to remove a mature tree and the loss of 12 years of growth. But I’m also showing you the "win"—our gorgeous replacement, the Picea engelmannii ‘Bush’s Lace.’ If you want to avoid a landscaping nightmare and find the perfect narrow evergreen for a tight space, this video is for you.
