Hey all, I planted this Greenspire Lindon about 3 years ago, and it just doesn't seem to be growing and is having some issues. In those three years it has MAYBE grown 6 inches... and none this year.

Its leaves come out curled and unhealthy and the rate of growth is just... disappointing.

I am not sure if I am watering too much, not enough, or what. Tempted to replace with something faster growing at this point as I would like some shade prior to my death from old age.

Thanks for any advice!

I could use a reality check on a bid if anyone is willing.

I have a mostly flat backyard with a crappy 10x12 patio pad that I want to replace with a 30x14. Problem is that access isn't great and contractor wants to come in through back fence where there are some apartments.... raising his bid from 6k to 7.5k. He also said my backyard would need extra work and grading (even though to my eye the area is flat...ish)

Is that still a reasonable bid or is he adding on just because I seemed overly eager to agree to 6k initial bid?

Edit: Also, this sub is great. So many responses so quickly.
