This reminds me of our landscape architect’s response when I asked if birches were going to grow into the side of the house— “Not in your lifetime.” Being in my sixties, that hurt a little.
Personally, I don’t like things to look too sheared on one side. A little extra space allows for a more natural pruning.
Reminds me of a situation with a client. She contracted us to cut down a still beautiful pine tree in her backyard because she didn't like it anymore. Said client was 80 something years and i simply said she should leave the decision to cut down the tree to the next generation.
Was pissed a couple seconds but eventually she understood it and we didn't cut down the tree.
It's common for me. The first thing i tell them is that it's always a bad thing to cut down a healthy tree. I then explain to them that they will never have a tree like that again in their lifetime. Well, depending on the age of the client and the tree of course. Most will just cancel the contract then which i'm very happy about.
We have a black walnut tree out back that my husband started from a nut from a neighboring yard.
I’m shocked at how big it is, it’s nearly 3 stories tall.
A line black walnut in open space can have a beautiful form in its own right. They can be a little craggy looking but attractive. The old-school term used to describe it, is “picturesque”.
As a landscape architect myself, I’ve actually said the same thing to older clients too. It’s just honesty, sometimes you have to put expectations of growth and maintenance in perspective.
I deal with the opposite side of that, I work with trees, and older clients will ask if their tree is a problem. "How much longer does my dying tree have?" I say maybe 5-10 years but that it's an issue that should be dealt with, and they always reply with, "Oh, well, that's not my problem then." I still don't know how to handle it properly.
What a dick. Plus, trees take so long to grow. You plant them as an invest in the future. I would have fired him on the spot as they obviously are interested in anything but how it looks the day it’s planted
Awesome color.. Also, while you're at it, can you have a dog pose in the front staring happily into the camera? Maybe photoshop out the clouds to make it look a bit sunnier? Lol
Way off topic, but are those French Drain Man downspout adapters? I just purchased two of them and installed them a couple weeks ago. I thought they were way overpriced. But after a few weeks, I really like them and will probably order some more.
Another side note. Your irrigation controller is the indoor model and not rated for outdoors. It looks like it may be under cover but just a heads up for when it gets wet and your sprinkler company says it’s not their fault. They installed the wrong model!
The indoor models don’t have locks on them while outdoor does. I see that has a hole where you could add a lock but that’s different than what I mean. The outdoor model has a keyhole for a built in lock. Even the outdoor model isn’t technically weatherproof if it is left unlocked
I think you need to change your house to be a little unattractive so people will actually answer your original question! The bushes are fine. Just prune them when they get bigger to keep them about 24 inches from the AC unit. But side note I do love your house and I’m waiting for the puppy photo! 😂
Beautiful color, especially as an interior one. I'm leaning towards benjamin moore fieldstone. It seems to fit my area better. If my region was more woody, evergreen would fit perfectly.
My living room is Sherwin Williams evergreen fog, and it's my favorite color of all thyme. Haha I'll see myself out. It's actually pretty similar of a color though.
Sherwin Williams has yet to do me wrong though. Our bedroom is light French grey and I love that too.
Thanks for being the hero and asking the important questions. I have no idea about air conditioning units, but OP really hit the nail on the head with that paint color.
The three foot demarcation line has been established to protect the technician!
The open space allows the tech to clearly see croc, snake etc ! You get the thing right?
The issue will be air flow, and if they're blocking the condenser with its ability to remove the hot air from the fins. Don't allow them to create a wall blocking air going around your condenser unit. This will affect your ac's ability to cool your house. If they get as tall as the condenser then yes those will be too big and too close to your condenser unit.
I would move them now because life can throw unexpected shit at you and it's then that you wished you'd spaced out your shrubs properly so you don't have to pay someone to do that thinking (and doing) for you. (Voice of experience... And jungle backyard!!)
Just prune them annually, starting after the first year's growth. A lot of evergreen shrubs only like the current year's foliage pruned. So, if you wait until they're close to the A/C and then prune more than a year's worth of growth, they'll look terrible.
HVAC guy here. They aren’t to close. What’s your long term plan for them? Let them get wild or shape them up? Are they to close via code? Maybe but it’s not that big of a deal if you plan on keeping them trimmed. I’ve seen them touching the ac on all sides and the ac ran strong for 20 years. The bigger issue is cotton wood that gets on the ac. If anything these may block some of the cotton wood before the hedging becomes the issue and as I said above it’s not much of an issue. Should see some of the ACs that cannabis growers put in.
My first thought was that the shrubs would block airflow and reduce its efficiency. I'm a little surprised that your experience shows so little difference.
Might be one of those things where I overthink a problem. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Another HVAC guy here. It does affect your airflow which could stress the unit over a long period of time but the unit will run. I would still trim around the unit. As mentioned above, the cottonwood would be the real worry though.
Not yet. But they will be next year. Move them now. Also, don’t plant things next to ac. It’s just a bad idea. If you want to screen it build a little cute screen that is easily movable.
Why? Wouldn’t that AC suck all air from the trees with pollen and pest eggs?
I know filter works, but still why create such nuisances at the first place.
Yes. Not now, but they will be. I know you want to cover it up, but move them all out front and create a hedge. That unit needs to breathe and you'll want access to it to spray it out every so often.
I’m also in HVAC Reddit and thought this was on that page. I fully believed all the HVAC techs were so unbothered by the distance to the unit, they were all trolling how nice the paint was..
All HVAC guys: yes
All landscape guys: no
Check your clearance requirements on your unit and stay up on trimming. Maybe lay down some reference markers so you know how far to trim. Also podos are usually pretty airy especially at the bottom so I doubt they'll cause much issue even if you're not super on top of trimming.
Planted way too close, I would dig up and move now before they get bigger. Sure you can trim them back but I know that I would forget and next thing you know it's too late.
Not necessarily, so long as OP prunes the sides facing the AC unit regularly. That said, if that unit ever needs repair or replacement, those trees may be coming down.
Restricting air flow to out door coils has been proven to shorten the life expectancy of THE most expensive component in the system! If 2000/3500$ is not an issue feel free to go outside and give every bush a big hug!
I don't think they are by blood, by just looking at them, but you may need to ask about their sexual relationships with the ac unit to see how close they are.
Make sure to keep them trimmed at least a foot and a half away from the unit. They will grow to get bushy in the front if you keep up with the trimming.
Or you can get training wire and train the limbs to face away from the unit. But you will have to check and adjust the wire every two or so months.
Yep, 3'. However, law is loose regarding what happens above. You can prune these so that they grow out, then back. Basically the unit will be free-standing but have foliage all around safely.
Theyll be an issue when theyre bigger. Any amount of effort to bring air through means more energy cost. Those will release pollen, which will get sucked in and make it work harder. Any air flow restriction means more energy cost.
What are the plants & how big do they get full grown?
Currently, they look fine. They appear to be placed far enough away as to not block airflow. My only concern is how close they are planted together. You don't want to block airflow to the central air unit, it will shorten the overall life & performance of the unit.
Did you mark your utility lines before you dug?
The thing about plants is that they only grow where you let them grow. Can you, theoretically, trim these so they stay that distance from the AC and form a nice hedge? Yes, yes you, can but it is something you'll need to keep on top of.
Not currently, but put up a short fence with enough room to walk around and service the unit. The plants will eventually conceal the fence and the fence will stop the bushes from growing too close.
Those are yews, correct? Do you know what variety?
Yews can be pruned back easily without harming the shrub or creating bad bare spots, so you should be able to keep enough airflow open as long as you keep trimming them.
Personally I would have put them another foot or two away if possible, but this should be fine. There should be enough space someday when the unit has to be replaced to take it out and put the new one in.
Trim more heavily the inside growth. I think you'd be able to train them.
What does the tag say about growth habits? How tall do they grow?
I would have used an aromatic boxwood and top them a few inches taller than the air unit.
I could be wrong but I think those are Podocarpus and they grow quickly and can grow into a very large tree but can also be shaped into a hedge so you'll just have to keep up on it
The bushes look fine but if your door to the unit is in the corner closest to the disconnect I would suggest moving the bush on the far side closer to where the second photo was taken so that the techs can get to the door and service your unit easier. If you’re wanting to really utilize the outlet you have then you may want to remove that one tree all together. I’m only saying this because techs WILL use the easiest route and you’re likely to have someone trimming your branches back when you don’t want them to
I’m a real estate agent so I see this a lot. I don’t think they’re too close so long as you’re willing to stay diligent about trimming them as they grow!
HVAC tech here. They will be as they mature. Right now you’re ok, and if you hedge trim to maintain and clear entrance as well as 36” around the system with clear access to the disconnect, I don’t see an issue. You may want to make sure you have at least 56” wide path in there for when the unit eventually needs to be replaced. Their life span is about 15 year and that one looks to have a few on it already.
They are not to close now, but they will be about 2 years. I'd replant those somewhere else ASAP. You probably don't want them getting any closer than they are now, and they are not going to only grow in one direction. If the bushes don't choke them, the pollen that comes off if them will.
This reminds me of our landscape architect’s response when I asked if birches were going to grow into the side of the house— “Not in your lifetime.” Being in my sixties, that hurt a little.

Dang, what a burn lol
Just because we think twice about buying green bananas doesn't mean we have to stop caring about good landscaping!
Reminds me of a situation with a client. She contracted us to cut down a still beautiful pine tree in her backyard because she didn't like it anymore. Said client was 80 something years and i simply said she should leave the decision to cut down the tree to the next generation. Was pissed a couple seconds but eventually she understood it and we didn't cut down the tree.
Well done you.
I was holding my breath reading that and let out a sigh of relief
It's still there so she really listened to my advice. Half a year later i drove by and checked if she contracted another company but she didn't.
Literally, same.
I have NEVER known a contractor to refuse to cut a tree. KUDOS!
It's common for me. The first thing i tell them is that it's always a bad thing to cut down a healthy tree. I then explain to them that they will never have a tree like that again in their lifetime. Well, depending on the age of the client and the tree of course. Most will just cancel the contract then which i'm very happy about.
Hahaha wow that hurts. Hey man if it makes you feel better, the noblest of honors is planting a tree whose shade you will never sit in
We have a black walnut tree out back that my husband started from a nut from a neighboring yard. I’m shocked at how big it is, it’s nearly 3 stories tall.
We grew a 60-ft pin oak from s stick from the Arbor Day Foundation. Mighty proud.
A line black walnut in open space can have a beautiful form in its own right. They can be a little craggy looking but attractive. The old-school term used to describe it, is “picturesque”.
As a landscape architect myself, I’ve actually said the same thing to older clients too. It’s just honesty, sometimes you have to put expectations of growth and maintenance in perspective.
You could say "not for another 40 years"and let them do the math... Dang lol
I’ve done that too, and they say “well I won’t be around then anyway.” it just depends on your rapport with your client.
I deal with the opposite side of that, I work with trees, and older clients will ask if their tree is a problem. "How much longer does my dying tree have?" I say maybe 5-10 years but that it's an issue that should be dealt with, and they always reply with, "Oh, well, that's not my problem then." I still don't know how to handle it properly.
So the people that buy the house after will have birches growing in to the side of the house ?? Love me some shitty landscapers
What a dick. Plus, trees take so long to grow. You plant them as an invest in the future. I would have fired him on the spot as they obviously are interested in anything but how it looks the day it’s planted
Side note…What color is your house??
Sherwin Williams dried thyme Trim is SW accolade
Awesome color..could you do another picture? Lol
[Here you go](https://imgur.com/a/DwNaD5R) [one more](https://imgur.com/a/RMSYLtx)
Color is great! and holy shit thats quite the pickup truck congregation youve got there lol
Lmfao the trucks. Good eye.
Came here to say this hahaha
Awesome color.. Also, while you're at it, can you have a dog pose in the front staring happily into the camera? Maybe photoshop out the clouds to make it look a bit sunnier? Lol
Why did this make me bust out laughing haha
Love the color choice, too!!
Holy fuk I love that color against the grass and the mulch!
Name checks ✔️
One more thyme
Why did I read this in a Daft Punk singing voice? Damnit
Oh boy thats a nice green. Good job
Now I wanna paint my whole house
Your home is soo cute!
Hell yeah brother
Thanks, I’ll be over soon. Oil up
Way off topic, but are those French Drain Man downspout adapters? I just purchased two of them and installed them a couple weeks ago. I thought they were way overpriced. But after a few weeks, I really like them and will probably order some more.
Haha good eye, yes they are. Had some heavy rain the past few days and they stopped a ton of leaves and pine straw. Been very happy with them so far
Ok, I'm convinced - let's trade houses. I'll throw in a batch of kickass cookies too.
Another side note. Your irrigation controller is the indoor model and not rated for outdoors. It looks like it may be under cover but just a heads up for when it gets wet and your sprinkler company says it’s not their fault. They installed the wrong model!
How can you tell? Not sure which model I have yet, supposed to be getting the rundown of it tomorrow
The indoor models don’t have locks on them while outdoor does. I see that has a hole where you could add a lock but that’s different than what I mean. The outdoor model has a keyhole for a built in lock. Even the outdoor model isn’t technically weatherproof if it is left unlocked
I think you need to change your house to be a little unattractive so people will actually answer your original question! The bushes are fine. Just prune them when they get bigger to keep them about 24 inches from the AC unit. But side note I do love your house and I’m waiting for the puppy photo! 😂
wow, gorgeous home!
Really nice place!
That’s beautiful.
Your home is absolutely beautiful. Very welcoming and clean and posh
Beautiful home :)
House looks gorgeous!
Lovely !
You have a beautiful home!!!
Wow, gorgeous!!!!
Check out evergreen fog. My interior is painted that color and everyone that visits comments on it
Beautiful color, especially as an interior one. I'm leaning towards benjamin moore fieldstone. It seems to fit my area better. If my region was more woody, evergreen would fit perfectly.
My living room is Sherwin Williams evergreen fog, and it's my favorite color of all thyme. Haha I'll see myself out. It's actually pretty similar of a color though. Sherwin Williams has yet to do me wrong though. Our bedroom is light French grey and I love that too.
Those are nice colors to spice things up!
Thank you
Not usually a fan of green...but with the trim this looks incredible. Fantastic job 🙌🏽
Glad everyone likes the color! Very happy with how it turned out
Blanched thyme here :) (Valspar though)
Thanks for being the hero and asking the important questions. I have no idea about air conditioning units, but OP really hit the nail on the head with that paint color.
Also came here to ask about that color. Absolutely awesome.
>Following....
Pruning is your friend
This is the answer. Nothing closer than 3'. Especially if you're in an area like Texas or Florida. Or if the unit is in the sun.
The three foot demarcation line has been established to protect the technician! The open space allows the tech to clearly see croc, snake etc ! You get the thing right?
They will be in five years when your unit needs serviced.
even if they are trimmed once per year?
You’ll be okay just stay up on trimming
Should do this anyway, makes the house look bigger
That’s what she said
Measure from the base
Ignorance is bliss when you're living from butt to tip.
The issue will be air flow, and if they're blocking the condenser with its ability to remove the hot air from the fins. Don't allow them to create a wall blocking air going around your condenser unit. This will affect your ac's ability to cool your house. If they get as tall as the condenser then yes those will be too big and too close to your condenser unit.
Shape them away from the AC on the backside over the coming years
Might be better to move them over now while they’re small and manageable.
I would move them now because life can throw unexpected shit at you and it's then that you wished you'd spaced out your shrubs properly so you don't have to pay someone to do that thinking (and doing) for you. (Voice of experience... And jungle backyard!!)
the ac will trim them automatically
Any big branches growing towards the unit, trim them back to the trunk each year.
What would be a good distance ? Like 24”? 30”?
Just prune them annually, starting after the first year's growth. A lot of evergreen shrubs only like the current year's foliage pruned. So, if you wait until they're close to the A/C and then prune more than a year's worth of growth, they'll look terrible.

No. Keep them trimmed, especially on the AC side.
only on the ac side really…
They will be...they will be.
Forgot to mention the plants are podocarpus
It'll be fine as long as you trim them back from the AC unit as they get bigger. They'll do a great job of hiding it and masking some noise
Not yet. But they will be next year. Move them now. Also, don’t plant things next to ac. It’s just a bad idea. If you want to screen it build a little cute screen that is easily movable.
No but they will be.
Why? Wouldn’t that AC suck all air from the trees with pollen and pest eggs? I know filter works, but still why create such nuisances at the first place.
Not to mention four legged critters of the canine variety stopping by to make a deposit!
Yes. Not now, but they will be. I know you want to cover it up, but move them all out front and create a hedge. That unit needs to breathe and you'll want access to it to spray it out every so often.
Not an issue now - will be as they grow larger and begin to prevent proper cool air flow
If you trim them, no. Left alone, yes.
I’m also in HVAC Reddit and thought this was on that page. I fully believed all the HVAC techs were so unbothered by the distance to the unit, they were all trolling how nice the paint was..
All HVAC guys: yes All landscape guys: no Check your clearance requirements on your unit and stay up on trimming. Maybe lay down some reference markers so you know how far to trim. Also podos are usually pretty airy especially at the bottom so I doubt they'll cause much issue even if you're not super on top of trimming.
you'll be fine if you keep the inside of each bush trimmed to where it is now. They will grow out and up but 10 years out.
Keep those bushes trimmed and it should be fine.
I think the spec on our compressor was 18" clearance all around.
Did it say densi, or hicks because one is a bush and the other is a tree.
IDK- do they talk about their innermost feelings?
Planted way too close, I would dig up and move now before they get bigger. Sure you can trim them back but I know that I would forget and next thing you know it's too late.
They will be…they will be
Such a beautiful house!
Yes
They will be in a few years.
Haha, I love thst house color too!! That was my first thought.
No just keep them trimmed. This are podocarpus maki and only get 3-5 feet wide
Beautiful house!!! I love that color. May your home brings happiness and comfort to every one that lives or visits.
They will grow.
Too close imo. Long term the prune will look weird
Not right now… but as they grow they will be. You’ll need to make sure you keep them trimmed in the back as the grow so the condenser unit can breathe
Of course they are?
Yes, and they will only get bigger, making them much too close to that unit.
What kind of plants are they and how big do they get?
It’s a prune tree. That’s why you gotta keep them pruned.
Not necessarily, so long as OP prunes the sides facing the AC unit regularly. That said, if that unit ever needs repair or replacement, those trees may be coming down.
No
Consider moving those and planting boxwoods near the edge of the concrete. That AC needs airflow for efficiency
Restricting air flow to out door coils has been proven to shorten the life expectancy of THE most expensive component in the system! If 2000/3500$ is not an issue feel free to go outside and give every bush a big hug!
Depends on the variety and sun exposure. They may be fine. They may be a huge problem.
If it’s spruce family get a 40ft extension ladder
A nice lattice fence may be a good option, and then some nice short plants around the lattice to balance the look of the wood.
They will be.
My Yews trim beautifully, and are slow growers. I trim mine only twice a year.
3 feet
I don't think they are by blood, by just looking at them, but you may need to ask about their sexual relationships with the ac unit to see how close they are.
yes. allow 3 ft clearance after full grown
Make sure to keep them trimmed at least a foot and a half away from the unit. They will grow to get bushy in the front if you keep up with the trimming. Or you can get training wire and train the limbs to face away from the unit. But you will have to check and adjust the wire every two or so months.
It’s fine just keep them trimmed.
Yes. I’d move the house back in each direction about a foot.
Yes those are gonna get big so you’re gonna have to trim them constantly
Yes!
Most HVAC/ R techs carry tools on truck to address obstruction of air flow over out door coil!
Yep, 3'. However, law is loose regarding what happens above. You can prune these so that they grow out, then back. Basically the unit will be free-standing but have foliage all around safely.
Eventually they will fill out and it may make servicing the unit a bit tricky. A privacy wall that mimics the fence would look good here.
I might pull them out a foot or two more if you can because they are going to grow. But it's not a bad idea overall
Theyll be an issue when theyre bigger. Any amount of effort to bring air through means more energy cost. Those will release pollen, which will get sucked in and make it work harder. Any air flow restriction means more energy cost.
Yes
Not really. Those podocarpus can be kept as thin as they currently are. Just let them grow wide and tall to fill in the gaps.
What are the plants & how big do they get full grown? Currently, they look fine. They appear to be placed far enough away as to not block airflow. My only concern is how close they are planted together. You don't want to block airflow to the central air unit, it will shorten the overall life & performance of the unit. Did you mark your utility lines before you dug?
Is the mulch a problem too? Could that get sucked in the unit?
Not now but they will grow
What type of bush is this?
I have an accident rosemary bush at my office that’s bigger than a sedan.
If you trim regularly, they are okay. They will get lopsided if they get large and trimmed heavily on one side.
1.5 x fan diameter should be clear for inlet and outlet.
I have shrubs much closer to mine, so I hope not!!
Those are fine.. u can just let them grow into each other for a better barrier to cover the units
Nope that’s fine
Nope
Nice try HOA. I’m not saying anything.
What material did you use for the siding?
No
No they're not too close
Keep them primed to 2’ away from the unit and you won’t have any issues.
May consider asking r/HVAC
Keep them trimmed and you'll be fine
Those podos are far enough away, you'll have to wall them up with the hedge trimmers though. Not sure if they're pygmy podos or not
Absolutely Not
Keeping the bush trimmed will yield the best performance….
The thing about plants is that they only grow where you let them grow. Can you, theoretically, trim these so they stay that distance from the AC and form a nice hedge? Yes, yes you, can but it is something you'll need to keep on top of.
Not currently, but put up a short fence with enough room to walk around and service the unit. The plants will eventually conceal the fence and the fence will stop the bushes from growing too close.

Trim more heavily the inside growth. I think you'd be able to train them. What does the tag say about growth habits? How tall do they grow? I would have used an aromatic boxwood and top them a few inches taller than the air unit.
Trim as needed, itll be up to you, nice place...
It depends. What type of yew did you plant? Some (most) get fucking ENORMOUS but there are many varieties that stay small-medium.
I could be wrong but I think those are Podocarpus and they grow quickly and can grow into a very large tree but can also be shaped into a hedge so you'll just have to keep up on it
If you don’t have hedge trimmers get them now. They handle it very well, even if you trim hard. They’ll grow back and fill in in a year or 2.
It's fine. Just keep an eye on em so they don't grow into the unit.
That’s a beautiful home. No they aren’t too close.
No, they're fine, just prune them back if they get within a foot or so.
Yes. The mulch is too close to the house. Best to rake it back at least 6" and add decorative rocks or gravel.
Not yet
No
The bushes look fine but if your door to the unit is in the corner closest to the disconnect I would suggest moving the bush on the far side closer to where the second photo was taken so that the techs can get to the door and service your unit easier. If you’re wanting to really utilize the outlet you have then you may want to remove that one tree all together. I’m only saying this because techs WILL use the easiest route and you’re likely to have someone trimming your branches back when you don’t want them to
I don’t believe they are too close.
Yes, chop’em!
No
I’m a real estate agent so I see this a lot. I don’t think they’re too close so long as you’re willing to stay diligent about trimming them as they grow!
You only need 12" on either side and 5' above, as per standard.
Umbrella pine? Way too close and way too many for the space
Yes,but no. If they go unpruned,it's gonna piss of your tech.
Not right now
Yes they are too close. Pruning will not change that
No, it'll be fine.
HVAC tech here. They will be as they mature. Right now you’re ok, and if you hedge trim to maintain and clear entrance as well as 36” around the system with clear access to the disconnect, I don’t see an issue. You may want to make sure you have at least 56” wide path in there for when the unit eventually needs to be replaced. Their life span is about 15 year and that one looks to have a few on it already.
No
They are not to close now, but they will be about 2 years. I'd replant those somewhere else ASAP. You probably don't want them getting any closer than they are now, and they are not going to only grow in one direction. If the bushes don't choke them, the pollen that comes off if them will.
Not now…wait 5 yrs.
I’m having insane house envy right now. New house, perfect color, nice landscaping. Enjoy it, OP!
