I now have a better idea of the site lines, view, trees and other site issues. Based on <br />this, I have some general recommendations to get us started. <br />First, evergreen trees will provide the best potential for year-round screening. But in order for newly <br />planted evergreens to thrive they will need adequate light. This will mean removing some of the <br />volunteer deciduous trees that are now growing between the fences. Though many of these are small at <br />this time, they are fast-growing trees like boxelder that will out-compete any evergreens that will be <br />planted. Equally important will be to maintain the planted area by removing any new volunteer trees, <br />at least until the new evergreen trees become well established. This may mean a period of five years or <br />more. <br />Proper plant selection will be important to achieving good screening, relatively fast growth and good <br />survival. Planting on the north side of the wooden fence and in the back yards of the homes involved <br />will provide the best screening rather than trying to create a narrow, living fence. All parties should <br />keep in mind that we will have to make some compromises between fast growth, good screening and <br />survivability. I think it is important that I approve of the final plant selection to ensure we achieve this <br />compromise. At this time, I recommend arborvitaes for plantings in linear groups (mini-hedges) and <br />smaller openings among existing trees and white spruce or the popular black hills spruce for larger <br />areas like the back yards just south of the fence. Balsam fir may be an option for areas with the densest <br />shade. However, this tree provides a more open form and slower growth so it may be used only when <br />there is no better alternative. White pine is another choice for back yards. Slow growing at first, it does <br />well in shady environments. <br />Exact placement of the new trees will likely be my responsibility. I can place tlags at each planting site <br />so that all parties can visualize the planting plan. Once all agree on locations, I can develop a tree list <br />so Mr. Albrecht can purchase the plant material. Instructions on proper planting techniques may also <br />be necessary. <br />Submitted, <br />���y�,, � �-�. <br />Stephen Nicholson CF <br />405 Hardman Ave S, South St. Paul, MN 55075 - Office: 651-451-8907 - Fax: 651-451-1787 - Online: www.sstree.com <br />
