He's really wonderful, and we're lucky to have him. He lets us borrow things, helps us out, and is just a nice guy. His family's nice, too. Anyway, our driveway goes along the portion of the private road that's in front of his house, and the pavement has crumbled over time. So when we were talking about a hedge, he was very supportive, and even went halfsies on the plants with us. He's been doing a bit of work here and there, and was going to finish up on Sunday whatever we didn't get done, but we got a hair up our butts and went nuts. We just finished the whole thing. ^_^ So our nice neighbor felt sort of bad he didn't do more work on it, just because he's so nice. It was fine - we really were the ones that hogged the hedge. In reality, it's we who are grateful to him for helping us out when it's not his driveway being beautified.
Anyhoo, I had been shoveling dirt after work last week, and this weekend we finished it off. I want to say we ended up putting in 8 or 10 yards of topsoil or so, and then we planted every single plant. We ended up with six extra, but some were scrawny and so we planted those a little more closely together. You can't really tell, in my opinion.
So here's the photo bonanza. We think it turned out very, very nice, and we've already gotten comments from some other neighbors (who are also really great folks) on how good it looks. It's so nice to actually see some progress made on the house. We feel really great about our new hedge.
