We have a back yard that has a lot of clay and is on a hill. Our landscaper has planted 4 evergreens (2 colorado blue spruce and 2 Black Hills Spruce) that have died. The clay holds the water, so we are sure they have drowned. The trees were sitting in water when they were dug up for replacement. We would love to have something (evergreens, trees,etc) but we are gun shy. Any suggestions?

Shrubs & Perennials suggestions
I have an area in the lower level (walk out basement) that I need to put a shrub and some perennials, but it seems to always stay real wet there, since everything drains from the front yard – can you recommend some shrubs and/or perennials that would do well in really wet soil? I’ve transplanted a few things, but never survived.
