Heh.  I figure the damage is probably less than $200 in cost of plants and materials.  It will just take a long time for the gap in the bushes to go away and that is damn annoying.

How is a 11' shrub worth only $200? You buying seeds to replace an 11' plant?

Have you ever thought that maybe the plants just got sick of you not valuing them enough and ran away? On their way out of the neighborhood they probably kicked down a couple mailboxes

ChadTower:

I didn't say it ran through the 11' bushes.  It ran through the 5' (3' deep) bushes on the short side of the property.

I say screw it,  throw some tomato seeds in there and call it some deco kind of thing.  Take the 200 bucks you saved and apply it to some frivolous spending ... that could probably get you 4 months worth of cable tv.

If he decides not to replace the bushes I would still have a hard time calling that money saved.  Had the plows not ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up his yard he wouldn't have had to spend $200 on new bushes.  He already had bushes.  So if he decides not to replace the bushes he just breaks exactly even.  He doesn't suddenly have $200 extra dollars in his pocket.

ChadTower:

Plus I want the bushes.  There's a gap in my bushes now just about the width of a plow blade.

Put in some cheap walk-way stones and call it a new entry. Viola. Instant makeover.
