We're tackling the front of our North-facing home (Zone 7a) this weekend, and I need help! I feel like the small fruit tree should probably go? It feels very crowded and not so special. I would LOVE some suggestions for landscaping either side of the porch. We are on a bit of an incline, and the height of the foundation starts at 30" on the right side then increases to 40" on the left, so I'm a bit puzzled with that as well. Thanks for all feedback!
