The creepy spreading kind. It was very distasteful. The lister was the broker and our agent worked for her. He got a verbal that the Junipers would be taken care of. Also, our garage door openers were missing. The broker agreed by a verbal that the junipers would be taken care of. (never get a verbal!!!! EVER! They lie) They never would. After much haggling we agreed to settle everything for just 2 garage door openers. I have an email to that affect. After 2 visits to their office to see Debbie O and a promise to have them and now numerous un-responded to emails they refuse communication. Just beware when buying a home if they are the listing office or sellers representatives. YOU MEAN NOTHING TO THEM ONCE YOU HAVE SIGNED ON THE DOTTED LINE. Just beware.

OH DEAR. I wish you welcome but you sound so unhappy. Here is what I would do. Stop one of the young people cutting lawns and ask him if he would take fifty bucks to dig out your junipers, it is just sand and not hard for a young person to do. I bet your problems will all be solved.
Hope the rest of your life here is full of roses to replace the junipers...or palms...or something nice.
