Love your yard Mike
What a great place for kids, bet they have a blast in your pool.
Great BBQ area too.
when? Now! 😆 😆
Presume you meant "where"?
Anywhere you want to block a neighbor's view.
Which probably means 5 more Pindos 😉

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Well, arborvitae would give you year round privacy, but it`s relatively unimaginative.
How about 6-foot high trellises...you could grow anything you want on that...grapes, espaliered pear and apple trees, etc.
I`m sure you could have 5 pindos in pots, placed strategically.
Mike, it must be tough working so hard, but you`ve created a beautiful home for your kids.
They`ll talk about these fun summers when you`re an old man, so it`s worth it.

On a seperate note I have something different happening to one of my palms. I have had every palm I own and yucca bloom for me. I never had a christmas palm bloom for me until now. I just got my palms back from 2 1/2 year storage vacation and when i put them in the yard and fertilized the hell out of them and bam my christmas palms developing an inflorescence !!
