So for a steep descent into the underground garage, I would consider that with the corresponding budget. But with an access like yours, rick, that would be more than decadent.
For hotels, steep ramps at companies, or in areas with heavy public traffic, it (can) make sense. In private settings, rather not. Aside from the costs (monetary as well as ecological).
Cemo snow shovels are good. They feel good in the hand and are sturdy. Costs for a normal snow shovel are reasonable. I can't imagine that with wheels you have much relief, especially with so much snow like today.
I want to plant a hedge of about 20m at our place in spring. It should be fast-growing and dense. It would be nice if it reaches a height of about 1.80m. It doesn't have to be evergreen, but it would be nice if it is also dense in winter.
Do you have any ideas? Last year I planted a few ligustrums in another spot on the property. So far, I am somewhat disappointed with them...
Insensitive and fast-growing, yet quite dense is hornbeam. Evergreen is the cherry laurel, which also grows quickly, but does not tolerate frost with wind very well. Both hedges need to be trimmed regularly, then they become very dense. The hornbeam keeps its withered leaves in winter, not everyone likes that. In spring and early summer, birds love it for nesting. Warning, paradise for cats.
In autumn, we planted Photinia towards the street (1.50m high rootballs, grows up to 3m). If you don't like too much red, it also mixes well with Portuguese laurel as it also has some red.
