Before then they had been absent from North America for I forget how many millions of years. They were planted about 1950 and are the most impressive lot I have seen. Those are regular dawn redwoods are at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Then again you do not get the huge branches overhanging your house and cars like Ash or Elms give ya.
#Adding deoth to metasequoia full
Trunks do get THICK on the main species if you are in full sun and leave the lower branches on. Just not like I have seen any more than the usual amount of surface roots near any of the big Metasequoias I have seen. Guess I gotta remember MOBOT will go fix their landscaping the moment something cracks. With a fu fu cultivar like Ogon you could probably go ten feet from the edge of the driveway. My personal opinion once again is fifteen feet from trunk to driveway and you will see plenty of oaks and the like planted w/o damage to sidewalks. Much Much thicker more buttressed trunks at MOBOT. Sure down by Cincinnati Rowe Arb might have taller ones but the ones at MOBOT are almost as tall and at least seem much wider with more of their lower branches retained. The most massive I have seen are at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Comments, anyone?Īt the Zoo/mini botanical garden in Cincinnati they have Ogons planted in four foot grass strips as sidewalk trees. I plan to be in this house for the duration, but for the sake of resale value, I wonder wd it be worthwhile to design pergola so that it's basically just the underpinnings of a roof, in case the next owner wants to cover it. If not, I expect I'll be stuck paying at least $5K for a pergola. (5) I'll go out this weekend and get a patio table umbrella to see if it helps. (4) Consider same white lattice fence ()slightly higher than current) to replace current natural lattice fence in back of new furniture OR replace natural lattice with garden wall in interesting color such as I've been seeing on this site, maybe with short lattice strip across top. So, kind friends, my landscape-architect friend is coming for Labor Day, but I'm still brainstorming, so what do you think of this? (1) yes replace CLFence w/ white lattice and nice trellis entry, but mainly (2) move big planter with statue to side under mulberry, balancing the Mahonia on the right (toughest plant they cd sell me at my request), and make rustic stepping-stone pathway up to very top near fence, then pave that little area and put bench or 2 ice-cream-parlor-sized chairs and table? Balance in front of right hand side Mahonia by cutting maple down to graduating heights from path, with plants on top of each trunk, or maybe plants on two and interesting topiary frame currently on top of too-tall trunk (3) stick 3 potted plants, maybe all in one planter (have silver one on hand decorated with green leaves & little red berries) on top of grill for when not in use (usually!). I have purchased and remodeled 2 homes, helped my son with his and a few family members also. Curb appeal (basic landscaping) draws people in, but it's the kitchen, bathrooms, and master bedroom will make them buy. then put off the driveway as that is not the greatest selling point for homeowners. fantastic! Then go for the stamped concrete or paved driveway. (3) Having a spacious 3 bedroom house with 2 baths (4) a large master bedroom and closet, lots of storage, (5) an open functional kitchen, (6) stacking laundry near the bedrooms or kitchen (not in the garage). As you start reading on home improvement: (1) weatherization, kitchens, bathrooms and cosmetic things like paint will have the greatest payoff! (2) Then outdoor living space like decks and patios. My initial advice to you would be to go back to your realtor and talk to them about what would add value to your home in YOUR neighborhood, your town, your part of the country. Trends come and go, so don't look for trendy other than as accessories. Some elbow grease and sweat on basic landscaping improvements will add to the value of your home inexpensively. Question - do you ever get high winds blowing trees down in your area? Talk to the homeowners insurance company and find out your local statistics. Lots of trees around, conifers with lots of needles too. Question - do you have 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a family room? Looks like you have a nice place out in the country or rural area that is heavily wooded. Hey Clint! Congratulations on being a new homeowner! Way to go! This is a mom with a son your age talking.
