Yews On Side Of House Are Thinning And Not Healthy

Question From: F. Blanchard - NEW YORK
Q: My yews are thinning on the side next to the house, even appear to be dead. What can I do to revitalize them?

A:

Frank, They are probably not getting enough sun, and water may be an issue. Shrubs planted up next to a foundation suffer from these issues. You may need to replace them. Best Nancy
