But you do need to learn how to trim it properly. All of its sides must slope inward as they go upward. You have it slightly to the reverse of this which will cause it to lose lower foliage and become a shrub on "stilts." Every thought about widening the steps? Doing so would make your house look overall better and worth more. I would suggest a look with fewer different little things, more like this ......See MoreHelp Please!
