Wanting a bit of an urban lodge feel and put some emerald green arbs and smaller junipers in the ground. Thinking about sprinkling in some pollinators as well. I know **** all about landscaping and growing though.

Do yourself a favor and find someone that knows something about trees before you plant anything.
A lot of conniferous trees drop their needs and create a super acidic environment and you can’t grow shit for grass or whatever. Another example is there are a lot of maple trees around (including one in my yard
) but it turns out they don’t handle high pH environments very well and get iron chlorosis really bad which really shortens their (including mine
) lifespan.
