Big day coming up in my neck of the woods

A big day for us anyway. The furniture we ordered last week will be here between noon and 2:00 pm.
The landscape guy will be here with the Leyland Cypress trees to plant as a boarder between our property and the next one that is up for sale. The current owner of that land had someone take down the trees/shrubs that separated us from him. We have no clue why, it looks awful. I guess he thought it would sell better...I hope it never sells.
So right now instead of a tree line we have 150 feet of 'a mess' that they left. The Leyland Cypress trees are about 5 feet high and they will grow to 15 or 20 feet high and 5-6 feet wide. They will, in a few years, be a nice barrier.
He is getting the trees on sale 1/2 price and he isn't charging us an arm or a leg to plant them! And, the best part, he will show up, unlike others we've hired in the past!

@AbbyGreenhill They will tear the current house down and build a new one?

Those trees really do make nice barriers. They look very graceful too.

And they are so soft when you touch them.

Perhaps the guy thought whoever came to see the property will get more attracted by looking at the neighbours than a line of trees

If he had it cleaned up it would look ok, but they knocked down the trees and left stumps, etc.

They are mainly used as a border fro the ones I've seen - they really do a good job...of course it will be a few years before ours will do that job!

@AbbyGreenhill Yes, you will need about three to five years, but they are so nice to see.

@LadyDuck Years ago we stayed at a rental cottage in North Carolina - they had a row of them and they had to be 30 feet tall, that's when I fell in love with them.

plus if the barrier is on your side you can keep it maintained and look however you want

At least they won't have to be trimmed, we don't want additional work LOL
