That was not the front of my house in the last post. This is, below, taken in winter so there is no wonderful green lawn sweeping up to it and the trees are bare.

I thought the other photo was a better illustration of  my point.

 FYI, it was a  client’s house ‘before’. There is no longer a foundation planting of tidy pruned ‘meatball’ shrubs there anymore.
