Dear Greg:
These are the requirements we agreed on for your fence landscaping plan during our meeting today. The only
thing we did not agree on was the number of grasses in the flagpole bed, but Blue Grass Farms in Anderson has
them for $12.75 each (5 gal. - which will usually grow to maturity in 1 to 2 years.
The fence area required to be landscaped is an est. 80 feet in length.
Two deciduous trees have already been planted along the street in the referenced area in 2004.
Two existing (somewhat mature) Norway spruce trees are along the fence already.
Three 8' tall Norway spruce trees with mulched areas will be added equally spaced along the fence line
from the corner of the fence to the flagpole (est. 80 ft.). mature size 60' x 25'
Two shrub plantings that are at least 36" in height will be added between the three Norway spruce trees
(common witch hazel or blackhaw viburnum), mature size 15' X 12'
A mulched planting bed will also be added around the flagpole with at least three (3) ornamental grasses
(Giant Reed Grass or Plume Grass), mature height 10'.
Work will be completed no later than 5/31/2006.
This should meet your needs, and the needs of your neighbors. Contact me if there are any other questions.

Dear Greg;
The following is a list of shrub and small trees to plant as a visual buffer for your fence. I do not recommend
planting a single species, but a significant mixture for diversity along the length of the fence:
Shrubs species
Thuja occidentalis
Pice a g/auca "Conica'
Hamamelis virginiana
Viburnum rufidu/um
Rhus typhina
Small tree species
Syringa reticulate
C/adrastis kentuckea
Carpinus carolinana
Arborvitae species varieties: Nigra, Techy, and/or Spring Grove 'Grovpli'
Dwarf Albert Spruce
Common Witchhazel
Blackhaw Viburnum
Staghorn Sumac
'Ivory Silk' Japanese lilac tree
American yellowwood
American hornbeam
If you plant or mass no more than 3 or 4 in a row, you will avoid many of the problems of planting "mono-
cultures", You can FAX me back at 571-2426 or send me a return email.
