[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked at the house on google street view and, wow, the main floor sure is a fishbowl.

I don't have a problem with the spikes, but I also don't get the landscaping scheme, or the insistence on this specific type of bush. I wouldn't be surprised if the bushes are also not well suited for the soil and moisture level of that spot. In looking up requirements for Japanese yews it seems that they max out at a zone 7...which is really pushing it in Arlington of late because this area is creeping toward being a zone 8--they may not make it irregardless of dogs peeing on them or not. I see this a lot in my neighborhood, evergreens can just up and die because the conditions aren't right for them, and it has nothing to do with dogs peeing on them since they are planted far away from the sidewalk.[/quote]

So?  If they are not your bushes, MYOB and be a considerate, civilized neighbor.[/quote]

The point being that he is blaming dog pee for killing his bushes, and that may not be the case. Evergreen bushes are really sensitive to their environment and the specific microclimate of his yard might be why they didn't survive. They don't like hot humid climates with warm winters, and a section of yard that is directly adjacent to the sidewalk (which acts as a heat source) could be why they didn't make it. Location location location and all that.

I agree that dogs shouldn't pee on his yard, and that the spikes are fine for accomplishing that goal and that people should be responsible for their pets and children.[/quote]

Think a lot of dogs go by his property. If one pees all of them pee in the same place. The medium to larger dogs can pump out some pee. [/quote]
