I purchased my home in 2018, but got sort of irritated with the influx of vehicles driving past the house since there's a subdivision down the street.

Didn't want to install a fence as it wouldn't look very welcoming, so I went with trees instead. Around 8 feet tall and plenty more growth to come. All I have left is to block out the driveway from where I sit on the porch where the swing is.

Rose bushes are looking a lot better also!

It's called osmanthus x fortunei. It blooms partially in the fall and fully during spring. Has a wonderful peach smell.

Very nice. So many people don't appreciate what landscaping can do for a property. Nice choice of shrub.

That looks fantastic! Like Webster stated, landscaping can add so much for a property. Very well done OP.

I don't know where I should be looking to compare before and after. Seems like different angles to me.
