Evergreens add year-round structure and privacy. They have different needs, and different ways of failing.
Conifers give a yard shape in the cold months and privacy all year. Eastern red cedars, white pines, loblolly pines, hemlocks, arborvitae and leyland cypress are common in Tennessee. They are also vulnerable to pests, drought and ice, and many cannot regrow from old wood, so pruning needs care.
A Certified Arborist can assess evergreens for bagworms, pine beetles, needle blight and root problems, and advise on pruning, watering and replacement. Pines can become tall, top-heavy and dangerous with age, especially after rain or ice, and may be best removed before they fail.
