There are different philosophies for landscape creation. A common one comes from builders: use cheap, fast growing plants and smother the foundation. Another comes from landscape designers: overplant and thin later (attempting to give the fullest look the soonest.) Since there are some nice plants, you may have gotten a hybrid of these philosophies! But it looks like plants overwhelm the house and the resultant look is one of neglect. From the street it does not look the least inviting insofar as going to the front door. One can't see if there's a path to get there and it looks like it's probably going to be creepy with wasps, spiders and dirty leaves at the stoop. Personally, unless you LOVE to trim, I can't see why having plants that grow MUCH larger than the space allotted is a good idea. IMO, you'd be better off with a complete re-do and plants whose ultimate size is a better fit for the space. Below each window should be a shrub that's easy to keep 2' - 3' tall. (The shape is not a ball. It's a dome.) The pine tree at the left corner is going to become (already is) much too large to be kept in the shrub form (with foliage to the ground.) In that position I think it can only be a tree and it's past time to begin removing bottom limbs so that humans can walk below it and the view to the first floor of the house can be maintained. If you limb it up, you can grow nice things below it. If you don't, you can't work comfortably below it or grow nice things. (When you first remove limbs, the tree looks somewhat awkward because the limbs remaining are at an upward angle instead of how the lower limbs are right now. But as they age and lengthen, they hang lower and eventually the natural look returns. It's best to remove limbs as soon as you know they need it. Wait and it's more work later.) With a large, open yard, it will look better if there's some large shade trees widely spaced along the street. (Hope there are some behind this camera position.)

It looks like the "front" door is out of view of the street. Given it's lengthy approach and seeming lack of visual interest upon arrival, I believe I would expand the paved area near the door to create a small patio. There could be some seating, say a small bistro set, on it. A small tree inside the corner of where the walk makes its last turn could add a sense of shelter to the walk experience. Area inside of walk is small enough for groundcover instead of turf. Turf could be at outside of walk, except for the skinny part next to fence.

Take the picture to other forums (your region, trees, shrubs, perennials, etc.) and ask what plants could make those shown. Any plant shown could presumably be created out a number of different plant types. It would be up to you to evaluate how you want to resolve it, and by doing so, create the final "flavors" that your yard will produce. You need to create a planting plan, where all the plants are located and called out, before you do the actual install work. If you're trying to do the planning yourself, you might return here with the plan and get feedback before you install it.

I wasn't clear in my original post - I may need to start again. We have a variety of fruit trees and bushes, berries and a large vegetable garden in the back. I'm not anti garden maintenance - I just tend to neglect the front yard because it never seems to look good no matter what I do (and I tend to prioritize puttering in the back with all the food producing stuff. We have run out of back yard space for fruit trees and at the same time I would like to add some taller trees/bushes at the front of our yard to create a bit of privacy as we are replacing some mirrored windows at the front and everyone walking by will have a full view into our front room. I was thinking if we had a nice looking garden along the road that we could then squeeze in a few more fruit trees in the front yard - but I would also like the yard to look nice. I am horrible with design and I'm hoping to get some ideas for a garden area with some height along the front of the yard, as well as some opinions on if I can get away with adding fruit trees along the driveway, walkway and front of the house (right side), or if this would just look strange. I'm not married to the look of the photo I posted above, I just want something that would look nice and create a bit of privacy.
