I have a love for boxwood! After a new walkway was installed last year (make sure to go watch that video:    • My New Entryway Path  ), I knew I needed to update the area to help the walkway feel finished. To do that, I added some boxwood to balance out the other boxwood in the area.

I started with smaller boxwoods, knowing they'll grow quickly and can be pruned to any shape and size. If not pruned, these Green Velvet boxwood reach 3-4 feet tall and wide, and have a globe-shaped growth pattern.

Here's the process:

- Start with a well-watered plant. Dig a hole about two times the size of the container the plant is in.
- If the native soil seems to be lacking nutrients and full of clay, amend up to 50% of the soil with good quality compost. Using 100% could cause the roots to avoid wanting to branch out into the native soil.
- Break up the roots of the shrub to encourage new root growth.
- Add soil back around the shrub and press the soil into the open cavities.
- Water well and allow the roots to dry slightly before watering again. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
