i am trying my best to make my lawn smaller so I want to add a 3 foot border on both sides of front walk. I want a dwarf broadleaf...Not spreading....I want the mature height to be no more than 2 feet and spread the same.....my foundation shrubs are green/green and most have been there over 50+ years. I live in upstate SC so zone 7b. I don't want a lot of maintenance. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I also want to expand the borders to enclose the 70+ year old pecan trees.
Thanks
