Boxwood and dog pee

greenhavenrdgarden
12 years ago

I planted a row of boxwoods and it took me a while to realize that the brown spots that have been appearing is bc of my yellow lab. Now that I know we have trained the dog to not use these shrubs but my question is about existing damage. One cone shaped boxwood has a burned hole about 10 inches in diameter. I cut off the brown foliage. Will this grow back in eventually or am I better off digging it up and turning it around so that the damage is hidden against the porch? I hate to disturb the roots but the hole is ugly. Also, if I have to turn it should I do it now or in the spring? Thanks in advance for any help. Laura
