Ideas for a screen foundation plant

Posted by winterwolfes 7a NJ (My Page) on

The master bedroom in my house is on the first floor in the front of the house. My house is just 30 feet back from the street. I have very large picture windows that measure 8 x 6 feet on the inside. So on the outside they area about 10 feet high - give or take. Right now there are a row of 3 to 4 ft hight azaleas in front of that side of the house. I have always wanted to rearrange the azaleas and plant some kind of tall evergreen shrub or small evergreen tree in front of that window as a screen from the street for my bedroom window. I want to create a new foundation garden around it and include the azaleas and perhaps some new plants.

Its close to a good time to transplant the azaleas. Any one have any good suggestions on a good evergreen shrub that I can plant a few feet from my house foundation?
