I have this area at the front entrance. Right in front of the window is an area that has clivias with lava rock for mulch then there is a 35-40 ft wall with Heleri Hollies and I hate them. I want to rip them out(already pulled two out, but have three more to go). I planted an Areca Palm and was thinking about bananas and shell giner but couldn't figure out how to pull it all together. I'll post some more pics so you can get an idea of how the front of the house looks but here is the wall I'm talking about.
