Hi there!

Good things about the yard:
>very few existing plantings to deal with,
>"manageable size" according to real estate listing,
>south facing front yard, corner lot with open church property to the west.
>Nice mature trees & service berry bushes.
Fishbowl effect challenge presented by yard:
>back yard only eight feet deep, really a side-yard,
> lack of privacy and some noise due to corner lot on a street with some traffic.

Survey of lot
Last fall we had an arborist prune our trees, a huge ash on the west, a Norway oak on the north, a half-dead birch in our south-facing front yard, and a beautiful but sick crabapple in the se corner fr front yard.
At same time we pulled out the existing foundation shrubs: three overgrown junipers, (seventeen feet deep! and two sad looking arborvitaes flanking the front picture windows.
Like to create a landscape in our limited space that affords us some privacy without shutting out the neighborhood.
Any tips or suggestions welcomed.
Have a great day!
