[quote=Anonymous]Op, I think you need to consider scale. Your backyard sounds too small for so many plantings. Are you trying to gain privacy on three sides? I am thinking of your backyard as a rectangle or square. For the side opposite your back door, I suggest planting something with more year round visual interest. Like Japanese maples and plant something like boxwoods in front of it. Or preferably inkberry, hearty, evergreen easy to grow shrub. It does have tiny flowers. It’s been growing 20 years in my yard and never seen a bee on it. Another shrub you should look for foundation planting at is ilex winterberry. It will look great in front of an evergreen screen.
