We try to get our customers to do their landscaping right the first time, knowing they will soon have to do it over again, if they do not. Remember that trees and shrubs grow, some much faster than others. However well a planting may look when first put in, it must not grow out of balance, and it should not outgrow its space. Eagle Creek tries to be conscientious In its recommendations. We know that fast-growing trees and shrubs cost less, and we can use them on large estates, where there is plenty of room. But on city lots we prefer slow growing, rather permanent, dwarf types, even though the first cost is higher.
