I totally should!! The shrubs I have there at that size would be very expensive. There are several diabolo ninebark that are 7-8' tall and about that same spread to the branches. Not to mention the iris at $20 a rhizome.

And a big fat good luck finding this size plant.

Full grown shrubs and trees add a lot to your property value. Young new ones, not so much. An appraiser could tell you better than I. I would consider a claim on my homeowners insurance. The insurance company is very good at getting payment when they pay such claims based on the company's insurance.

That's my thoughts too. I will still go out there and string up every tarp I have to try and prevent the loss. I can use my salvaged pickets from my old fence to reach the 8' height I want there.

It's one more thing to do that I didn't need added to my list right now. We are less than 2 weeks from major concrete work that includes part of the garage floor. All of hubs tools, motorcycle parts, lift table, compressor, shelf units and random stuff has to be moved. We also have to build a big dog proof wall in the garage to prevent the dogs getting out, into wet cement, biting a worker or whatever they should not be doing there while concrete is curing.
 
A couple pics of that flower bed.
Hubs said I should take pics so they cannot argue whether the plants were alive or not.

As long as the neighbors workers don't spray the stain through the fence cracks and poison them they are happy.

All the prep for concrete, trying to set up my shop, tend the garden, deal with the dogs, tree trimmer guys, and now the threat of chemicals all over my yard, veggies and hens has me seriously stressed out.

Oh and having to give the peach tree crutches....

We have thinned and thinned and thinned trying to reduce the load enough but it's still to saggy.
We pulled several hundred off when they were pea sized, a hundred or more at ping pong ball size and another 5 gallon bucket worth this evening. Then gave up and built crutches.
