Rhododendron & Azaleas - why not?
We are in the process of soliciting bids/designs to replace the
builder supplied landscaping in our house with something a bit nicer. Our house is about a year old and resides in Northern Virginia. Our current landscaping consists of a row of Uwanamous (not sure how this is supposed to be spelled) plants against the house, with azaleas in front, and some junipers around our light post. Also a couple of holly's are thrown in. The builder also strategicaly placed a cherry tree so in ten years it will block the front of our house. So far all the bids that we have received thus far recommend that we remove the Azaleas that the builder installed (along with everything else). I'm not sure what type they are, but they have red flowers that are currently in bloom. None of the bids call for using Rhododendrons (which many of our neighbors have used to replaced the uwanamous plants.) So, my wife, being a fan of Azaleas, wants to know why none of the landscapers want to keep them, and why absolutely none of the three designs we have received thus far call for using any type of azalea or rhododendron (which she also likes). What do I tell her? ----- "Enlighten Your Mind - So Says Plato" http://ibeplato.blogspot.com |
