I want to replace the shrubs in front of my house. I have a rhododendron, 2 azaleas and four other bushes that I don't know the names of. On side end is an evergreen and the other is a tall holly bush. These two will stay.

Can you point me in the right direction of what shrubs to look for? I might repeat the azaleas, but not the rhodie.
I want lush full looking bushes. We get lots of sun. Northern exposure. We are in the Northeast.

This is quite the open ended question. I suggest posting a pic and more info as to what you want out of the plants.

There are literally thousands of lush full looking bushes.
