do a pretty rock garden with colorful flowers and plant so you wont have to mow. do rocks instead of mulch so you wont have to replenish it since rocks lasts forever. would be very practical and attractive. maintenance free.Helpful Reply -

Looking at the front: Bring out the beds on the left and right. River Birch tree on the left, Lilac tree on the right. Cone shapedboxwood on either side of entrance.Either round boxwood between or hydrangea. Window boxes filled with annuals and grasses. Shutters would be nice in a slate gray, paint the front doorto bring in some color.Lovely house!Helpful Reply -

Love the idea of gray shutters on sides of windows. Plant another boxwood on other side to keep symetrical. Add lower growing plants to balance out.Helpful Reply -

I think the shutters are a good choice but I would make them either a dark green to match the bushes or deep gray to accent the roof. Your azaleas need a haircut and so do the boxwoods. I know I have both of these and I have them professionally done every other year. I have had them for over 30 years and they are still going strong. Since you are in a snow zone just as I am I would hesitate on mulch of anykind. I made the mistake of applying it on a sloped area between my peony bushes and what a mess. We used the gardeners cloth underneath and removed all of the grass with plastic before but only down two years and it has to be removed this year because it has all slid down on the slope because of the deep snow we got last year. Let us see the before and AFTER you are done pictures so we can see how beautifully it turned out.Helpful Reply -
