Do the Italian cypress trees add curb appeal or no?
Hate to tell you this but depending on the type of Japanese maple you have, you may have it planted too close to the house. My neighbor has one that drapes and it is placed like yours in a flower bed. It works well there. I have one that is 20' from my house and more like an oak tree. Mine is 25 years old and at least 30' tall. I can't tell from your picture what the top of yours looks like. This bed looks like it gets a lot of shade so hostas would be good on each side of the door and maybe even between the maple and magnolia (can't see past the magnolia on the other side) but you might want something a little larger right beside the door. Maybe nandenias behind the magnolia?
