The first photo is our house with shutters and bushes by the brick. The next two photos show shutters gone ( wider white trim) and the bushes gone. I have planted ornamental grass by the bricks, but very small right now. I am leaving the hydrangeas. They do look the best right now since the workers trampled them. They will come back. I am looking for advice on what to do in the front so it doesn’t look so plain. A large planter for seasonal flowers? and if so, what color? The last photo shows the side yard. Appreciate your suggestions.
