When planting several different species of evergreen trees in the landscape, plant those with similar water needs in the same general area. Don't mix species with widely different water needs. Evergreens such as pines and junipers that need less moisture may not do well in lawn areas because grass needs much more water. Avoid planting any conifer in soggy areas that drain poorly. And remember, some evergreen trees don't do well in elevations above 6,000 feet.
