That's right, the landscaping in front of my house has taken over - until now :o) A friend of ours is helping us get rid of all the bushes in front of our house that have gotten way too big. Here is a before picture:

As you can see, they have gotten away from us (and quite frankly, I never liked them, especially the two red ones in the middle. The leaves are only about a foot in, and the rest is sticks, so it's impossible to trim back. And it was taking over my rhododendron bush on the right, which I love! They are so pretty! So our friend came over and got rid of all those crazy bushes so we can plant something that we WANT and will let us see our house. After everything but the bases are removed, here is the result.

SO much better!! You can see the brick, even. I am so excited!! Tonight, he will be back to remove the bases of the bushes, and to get rid of the tree in the front yard (you can see some of the branches in the foreground of this photo). I will show before and after's of that tomorrow...
That is a huge difference! It looks great.
