    • @KaeWhitaker
      @KaeWhitaker  2 года назад +1

      I like having the tree and it's going to be huge eventually which might change my mind. Our HOA requires two trees so I have to keep either it or another one, but now that the leaves are in and it's not as mature as it will be its really pretty. The bright green leaves add some pretty interest. I'll have to take a pic and post it on my community tab.

    I’m loving your home. We finally moved in our last home 3 months ago after breaking ground 8/20. So many setbacks as we too had custom built.
    Be careful with planting near utility box. My neighbor in our last neighborhood did this and ATT billed her $8,000 because of the shrub she used. Some shrubs have thick and long root system. She planted them 3 years prior but some homeowners were having problems with internet. When ATT came to dig and find problem they noticed the roots of her shrub intertwined with the underground cables.
    To add injury from that GA power came to “inspect ATT “ around the transformer and too noticed the roots were growing under concrete transformer sat on. Just a heads up for anyone. Oh yeah she got fined by city and county $740. In total she paid out almost $9000. Because of her and other cases the county updated the codes where we can’t have any shrubs or plants within 5 ft of any utility.

    • @KaeWhitaker
      @KaeWhitaker  2 года назад

      Thank you and geesh That’s expensive!
      The saving grace for us is the shrubs are mandatory around the boxes we have to have them so I’m hoping they prepared for the requirements to have the shrubs.
      I only replaced what was there with shrubs I prefer.
      That’s terrible though my nerves would be so bad

    Hi, did you discard the holly bushes? Holly bushes can take full sun, specifically 6+ hours/ day. They were placed in front of the utility box because eventually it will block it. They usually bloom in late spring and grow up to 6ft tall. If you have them you could transplant elsewhere. You have a beautiful home.

    • @KaeWhitaker
      @KaeWhitaker  2 года назад

      Hey hey! No I gave them to a neighbor down the street. I know why they placed them there but they were struggling, I’m not sure if it was transplant shock or what but they did not like that spot. I may adjust the irrigation in this area to get better water to the shrubs period but they were not happy there at all.

The two that receive a little s un are puny, sparse, and not nearly as beautiful as the ones that receive full sun.
