Thanks for your input Tsuga! Yes, I see what you mean. The bluestem also seems to have a fuller look to it. This grass I'm trying to ID has a sparser appearance and def.coarser or broader blades. I also can't tell if little blue has this, but the unknown grass has a lot of curly blades. It has spread a bit on the property. Seems to like dryer areas....scrubby patches...hard to get really dry here as it's a cove forest but this grass likes gravel and sun!

The picture does not work for me. Just shows an error with a solid red box.

Texasflip, none of these are grasses I am familiar with, being in northern Illinois, but I feel bad that no one else has replied! I'd say you are on the target with the ones you have tentatively identified, after going quickly through the site posted below. I love it when I find a plant I'm curious about in MissouriPlants.com, because they have wonderful close-up pictures for ID'ing. They keep adding more species--some of the info is incomplete, I think because the grasses were added recently (at least I don't remember them being there). Here is a link that might be useful: Grasses on MissouriPlants.com

What types of evergreens? If they are close to the neighbors side, are they ok with that? Some evergreens shed their needles and can be messy. Some grow quickly, some grow very slow, most grow in width as well as up and will quickly spread into the space there...and most are likely to give a lot of shade, meaning that you will be limited on what you can plant around them if there is not much sun. Pachysandra is a nice ground cover, very low maintainence and stays green all year. But, it does spread fast. I wouldn't put any ground cover if you have any desire to grow flower there at any point. If it were me, I would put up a hedge type shrub to act as a fence along the neighbors side, look for one that is pretty tame and grows fast - then you won't have to look at that boat. Gotta love people who park boats in their yard. We have neighbors with a boat the size of Rhode Island in their back yard. They got it cheap after Hurricane Katrina, took a flat bed truck and a crane to get it up here to the northeast, they put it in the yard, and there it has sat for the last several years - they worked on it for one summer and then just forgot about it, not even bothering to cover it in the winter...slowly it is turning into the world's largest birdhouse and the neighborhood's biggest eyesore...but what the heck. I digress... Anyway, hedges. Yes. And then something pretty and fast growing, centered in that space there. Like a Bradford Pear or a Wheeping Cherry. Plant pachysandra around it, or make a nice little flower bed with decorative rocks or whatever your husband wants. That's what I would do! Good luck!
