Our shrubbery was overgrown and had not been cared for in over six months. We tried a shape up but it didn't work out too well. I am not a fan of ripping out plants at all but these were out of proportion size wise and there were too many for the size of the property. Pulling out of the driveway was a mission because ot the size of these babies. I love the look of the various grass plants that are available in Florida and am thinking towards a more maintenance free future. We will see what the landscaping future holds. It's fun to plan well and then execute. The correct amount of low voltage lighting is important. Some homes have so many lights you would swear they were trying to land an airplane there. Proportion is the key to landscaping success. Good luck.
