We
are working to improve the look and the drainage on our South property line.
We’re
installing catch basins between the newly planted Arborvitaes and then
trenching a drainage pipe along the backside of the tree line all the way to
the street. This is to improve the
environment for the Arborvitae, as they cannot survive in extremely wet
conditions. This also improves the
drainage situation for our South neighbor, who was periodically experiencing basement water.
Arborvitae is a popular evergreen choice for hedges because of its
tall, narrow growth habit. Arborvitae grows best in full sun, but will tolerate
light shade and prefer fertile, moist, well-drained soil.
