My house faces west and I have some shady trees about 12 years old, so I must be careful how much sun/shade some areas get, as it chages as the sun moves. I also look for dry shade plants. I am considering removing the Mary Nell that flank the front, but will wait and see how it all looks when other plants fill in. Most of this put in last fall.
Many of the homes in the neighborhood have curved sidewalks, some even have a walkway just along a small front garden , so there is no walkway. I would have liked a slender "S" curve, as I think they look nice.I probably will change the little bed that is level with the lawn. Either put in a small tree or remove the bed completely.Welcome any input.
