Thank you all for the other responses, especially the information on azaleas. I didn't want to get a picture until I had cleaned up the front so that everything would be as clear as possible. You can see the huge discrepancy in the azaleas as well as the overhang of the tree causing the issue. I will definitely prune the azaleas back after they stop flowering, but any further suggestions now that the situation is visible would be welcome as well.
