One of my favorite estates had a "overgrown" look and I just loved it. then the owner died and the property was sold off to a contractor who sanitized it and then sold it again. Which do you think looks better?
Yes - the original Tudor was lovely, but to be honest - the owners wouldn't let the landscaper touch any of the old trees and it was - well - overgrown. She did let me prune, because I would take a branch, or two, hide the raw cuts and tried to work it so that she wouldn't have noticed that I had pruned. You have to prune regularly or it just becomes too much!
Well the AFTER totally looks like crap, but anyone can see that!
ReplyDeleteI was there in person, and BEFORE was better! Wil
