pwdasher, I appreciate and enjoy the different landscapings too.

The ligustrums and hollies planted just don't suit me.
Ligustrums are not only bushes, but can be trees, they can get 20feet tall.

I don't like pruning frequently, not what I want to do.

I'll find something like a zamia that maxes at 3feet height/spread for the larger areas,
against my neighbors villa wall I'll use lariope or society garlic that spread a foot or two max.
