I was driving through my new neighborhood in South Austin and saw this:
No offense, my South Austin neighbor, but you got some work to do! I’m just perplexed by the plethora of shrubs here–it’s like the owners had a goal of creating a shrub collection. I like shrubs, but I don’t like a shrub enshrining my mailbox, obstructing views for car drivers and hiding my entire house. Home owners, plan your landscape carefully–have it enhance your house, use plants in proportion to your house and don’t create a hiding place for burglars. ‘Nuff said?

Yikes…that looks like 2/3 of the houses here…one of everything, all improperly scaled, then sheared into submission. Less with more!
Unfortunately, we have neighbors that have a similar situation going on in front of their home, but with ivy under the shrubs. YIKES! We call it the Forungle (Forest/Jungle) Ha!
Gawd.
Are you sure that’s not a paintball course?
LOL, spot-on post. At least it is a place where shrubs go to live and not die I guess. Hilarious.
