Installing plants with improper spacing

The proper spacing of a plant when it’s first installed makes all the difference once the plant grows in. Improper plant spacing is the most common DIY fail I see. Plants and shrubs are supposed to be placed on three-foot centers with few exceptions. Many times shrubs are initially planted about 12 inches apart. This looks nice and full when it’s initially installed in the landscaping, but within a year, it creates a messy, unkempt look. – Garden Guy
