Shrub trimming and replacements

UPDATE: Shrub Trimming was completed as scheduled. The dead and dying shrubs will be replaced on or about August 30th.

Our landscape contractor plans to trim our shrubs during the week of August 23rd.

I have submitted a work order to replace dead and dying shrubs at the following locations:

Globe-shaped evergreens
(1) at 6995 Central Park North
(1) at 6803 Central Park North
(1) at 6557 Lexington Ave North
(1) at 49960 Watling Ave

Creeping evergreens
(1) at 6731 Lexington Ave North
(3) at 50008-50024 Watling Ave.

We also plan to remove the dying short evergreen hedge that was installed in front of the arborvitae at the irrigation well near Regent and Lexington North. The arborvitae behind them are surviving despite the deer damage from the winter of 2008-2009. We intend to replace the removed hedge with a planting of boxwood evergreens (deer do not like the smell of boxwood).
