Shrub to hide a corner?

Hi - I have a sunny spot next to some concrete steps - at one point there was some sort of shrub there (I can see a stump of something where it was). I'd like something a bout 4' high & maybe 3' in diameter. Any suggestions? I'd love to hide that corner!

Hey Ken,

Thanks for the reply. Everything you said made sense - what I just did is go to a local nursery & look at various things. I'm going with a Compacta Holly - looks like it will fit right in!
