Bushes added to side of house

The side of the house just looked a little boring. I had thought about adding some bushes, but I wasn't sure. Then while I was at Lowes I saw they had some bushes on sale, real cheap. Only $1 each so I figured if they died, it was only $7 and I would get to see how that area looked with bushes.


Plain and simple before


I started this project at about 9pm, so my neighbors might not have liked I was tilling up the yard when it was dark. I used my trucks lights to give me light.


I added 7 of these plants. They get about 4ft x 4ft and I spaced them about 2.5ft away from each other. They should fill into each other as they grow and should look good once they hit their full size. They also turn green, to yellow in fall, and red during the winter so it should give it a 3 color show. They also weren't doing well, that's why they were $1.


As you can see they are already getting greener and doing better after I got them.


I added some cedar mulch, redish color mulch, to see how the red mulch would look, and it was on sale. All the other areas have black natural mulch.


After. I think once they fill into each other they will look good
