Junipers and Boxwood, Thursday, November 3

This morning I got a call from John saying the junipers had arrived. His crew came out about 10:30 and replaced the two junipers (southern most and second from north) and the one dead boxwood (fifth from south) on the west fence. Our east neighbor asked the crew what they were going to do with the junipers they removed. Apparently they told him they would just throw them away. He suggested that he would be willing to take them. They agreed and even planted them for him. I asked the crew what the specific mulch was that they used. They said it was a dyed brown or chocolate.



I had mentioned to John previously that two of the azaleas were mostly dead, but I did not press the point this morning. I need to make sure we know the exact variety of these in anticipation that we will need to replace them. I sent John an email today asking him for the exact variety of these azaleas and reminding him that he repeatedly promised to provide us with a complete and detailed list of all the plants he installed so we could replace in-kind if desired.
