| Help! I give up. Pictures posted are of my fairly new house. So far, had it painted, waiting for the new shutters and had the old box hedges and climbing something or other ripped out. I am significantly design challenged but after having 2 landscape designers not follow thru decided it was time to do this myself. However, I am just stuck.
I do know that the bed in front of the house needs to be deeper and not "straight" so will be taking care of that and will be removing all grass in front of the porch to expand that as well.
So, thought I would turn to you guys for help. Details - house is in WI in zone 5 and faces east. Also, a few things I should confess to... I hate any type of evergreen bush (yes I know...that amuses most people). I also desperately want something "different" than the typical hostas, day lillies, and spirea. Seems like every house in this area has either the original hedges that came with the houses 40 years ago or some variation of the aforementioned plants.
Also, need something very low maintenance..
Should I put a tree in front of the porch or on opposite side (have heard both) or....
So...any ideas?
