Don't know where you are and can't see the full area very well (what spiral tree where?) so tough to make any suggestions.

Is this your front entry? If so, I would work on making the stoop, stairs and landing larger and more welcoming before I bothered with any plantings.

Yes

@gardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)Im in New Jersey and I’m not sure what happened to my 2nd picture. I will try to upload again. This is my front entry. Once picture uploads you will see the space I’m working with.

Make sure you plant to allow about afoot between the edge of the plant at maturity and the side of the house.

Mountain Laurel and some varieties of Rhododendron, along with ferns and perennial flowers like bleeding heart.

If that is your front entry, I still would not change my advice to focus first on improving it to be a more generously sized and welcoming introduction to your home. Any landscaping would be quite a secondary consideration.

Back up and give us a picture of the whole house front. From this little picture snippet, it looks as though the other posters are correct that your porchlet is extremely small. Enlarge it to a decent size and reassess your planting situation.

It also needs railings, which will make it seem smaller.

None of the pictures show the whole front of your house. A larger landing will enable you to not step down to open the door. Is there a gate from the sidewalk? Getting rid of that narrow strip of grass would give space for a nice bed and make mowing easier.

@DM Here are more pictures of the front of house. I don’t have that much room.

You have plenty of room to make a bigger, more comfortable and flattering (to the house) landing. Which apart from practical considerations needs to be more important because the house is so tall looking - on the one hand you have a mini mansion with visually reinforcing fence and on the other a main entrance that looks like something on a recreational vehicle.

Also if you are intent on a formal (geometrically symmetric) planting layout you should change the bed shape to a rectilinear one. As it is now you have an evenly spaced pair of generally similar* conifers inside a bed with a wandering edge = a conflict of style within the same small area.

*One of the reasons to avoid formal planting whenever possible is that specimens used may often fail to become or remain identical to one another

I saw there was not much space. That is why I suggested getting rid of the little bit of lawn and making the bed larger. I agree with Embothrium on symmetry.

@ Embothrium thanks for your advice but all we did was replace old concrete steps with the paver blocks. On the right side the spiral tree was being blocked by a dwarf maple tree that we took down from inside the same bed. The edge border you see goes around the entire house thats the reason we designed the bed that way. I’m not understanding your advice 100%. You think we should have boxed the edge border? I do get what you mean by the spiral trees not being identical.

@ DM I totally understand what you’re saying.

This concurrent thread seems relevant - look in particular how in the first shot although the steps are similar to yours the house has in addition a landing behind that provides a base for a covered entryway supported by pillars (something I actually thought of suggesting for your place before looking at this other discussion). And there is in fact a conical conifer to the left that completely masks that side of the entry, fills the space.

Pouring new cement stoop and stairs but stuck on design-help?! (houzz.com)

@Embothrium I totally see what you mean now! It was so hard to visualize it at first. Thank u.....

@Embothrium any pictures of the idea you had mentioned regarding flower bed.

You would make it straight and parallel to the front of the house same as with the house asked about on the "new cement stoop" thread.

Notice also the two visually dominant upright growing conifers are placed at the corners only. With the two smaller ones of similar general shape to the right of the entrance looking silly, redundant and in the way of the window.
