Hard to tell from the picture, but although shrubs grow, they look as if they are placed much too close to the house. Beds should be deep, and all shrubs should be placed so that when they are mature they don't touch the house. For example, a shrub that will be 5 ft wide at maturity should be placed about 3 feet from the house.

How about a view of the path from driveway to the house. It is wide enough? What does the bed between the path and the house/garage look like? That entire area should be a bed.

Agree with 👆. Whatever is there now appears to be much too close to the house.

Could we get another picture, perhaps taken from the driveway? Then we could see the bed size and current planting placement.

Your home is beautiful.

Thanks for the extra pictures. The bed inside the walkway is plenty big, just couldn't be seen from the downhill viewpoint of the original photo.

If the bareness bothers you while the shrubs are growing, a fast-spreading ground cover (chocolate chip ajuga is a favorite of mine) or seeded-in annuals (snapdragons, marigolds, zinnias, larkspur, ??) could fill the space inexpensively and temporarily.

Much better picture. The three things that I circled - what are they? What are their mature sizes? They seem to be too close to the house and maybe their neighbors too.

The other plants look pretty good.

Here are a few ideas:

Really nice! Thank you!

I’d think about putting a beautiful large trellis on the garage wall
