One would not determine what was planted at the left half of this space while having zero knowledge of what comprised the right half of the space. Stand in line with the front door and show what is happening at both sides of the walk. Pan the camera left to right, taking slightly overlapping pictures if all will not fit in a single picture.

What is the unspoken message being sent by the hedge adjacent to the drive? ... "Authorized personnel only beyond this point!" Other shrubs reinforce it. If you are satisfied with parts of the front yard other than what is shown in the first picture, then you might as well be satisfied with what is in the first picture. I see no difference.

If you want to fill in around the evergreen balls, get some creeping phlox. It's hard to know your color scheme, since nothing is blooming.
