Hi John,

Thank you so much.  I love it.

Best,

Christy

Foundation Planting Ranch Before
Before

This foundation planting had a couple difficult situations to work with. There’s little space between the house and the sidewalk.  In addition, the electric meter glares at guests as they make their way to the door.

I planted Blue Billow Sawtooth Hydrangea between the walk and the house to add color.  A standard PG Hydrangea blocks the electric meter and provides additional color in late summer.  To the far right, the slow-growing Dwarf Hinoki Cypress will provide color through the long winter.

Thank you for the kind words Christy.

    Regulations there must be different. In Australia and New Zealand there must be nothing obstructing access to the meter.

      The picture doesn’t give perspective. There’s a good 3′ between the shrub and the meter. Perhaps I should have said hiding rather than blocking.
