Beginner Gardening: Front yard / corner lot needs help for British pocket garden, 1 by Twincol

OK, Guys'n gals, a bit of progress. I hired my lawn service to do some cleanup hereabouts. As part of that work I asked them to trim the lower pom off the double-pom waxleaf privets and trim the top one a bit. So, here's a bit of a sense of the layout and "lack of symmetry" I'll need to work out. The privets are not symmetrical with the approaching walkway. And the concrete woven pots (I am so in love with these pots) are symmetrical, which is as it should be, I think. Keep in mind that it is my intent to plant those beloved pots with perhaps a contrasting shape, as in pointy top with a spiral body.

So, I'm going to have to keep on working on this little bit of property. We got the poodles' kennel cleaned up and that stupid invasive, messy bottlebrush sucker-tree cut down once again. They just keep popping up, despite the stump remover/destroyer applied to them as I cut them down. It is such an invasive and messy specimen.

So, I just keep a'workin.

BTW, those little "trees" will have the surround I showed in an earlier pic of the Cotswold pocket garden. I'm going to see if I can make them this winter when gardening becomes slower. And can you see the little gap in the window draperies? That's one of the black poodles watching out for me. L
