Replacing Shrubs & Plants

Question:

Is the shrub in picture 1 salvageable? The evergreen in the other picture looks hopeless. Does it need to be replaced?

Answer:

The shrubs could be cut all the way back and MAYBE recover, but I think you’re smart to replace them. The weather this winter was tough and even if they leaf back out, they are weak plants.

Hope this helps.
