Controlling the Woods From Encroaching Into a Garden

Question

My home is surrounded by woods. We have a slight hill on the side of the house that was landscaped beautifully 16 years ago by the original owners. In the 4 years I have lived there, it has become increasingly more difficult to control Mother Nature from taking over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You may need to take out some of the woods. Over time trees and shrubs, as well as other plantings, can outgrow their surroundings. A landscape makeover may be necessary.
