At the risk of being redundant with the after pictures, here's a closer view.

Boxwoods. I tell you, these aren't the prettiest shrub out there, but they do really well in my area - and these tiny little things have grown to the point where they're almost a hedge running along the driveway.

Here's the reverse view from down the driveway a bit.

Here's another before picture. There's multiple issues here: the turf was really mangy, the shrubs that were in this spot were really overgrown, and the grade of the soil was such that rain didn't drain away properly.

Here's an after picture. I decided to turn the whole area into a planting bed. The shrubs closest to the house needed to grow in a little before they blocked the view of the gas meter. Later this season the purple and white petunias you see spread to where they were growing up onto the sidewalk. It was...

This is the front of my house before the project began. Actually I had already ripped the overgrown taxus on that side out. Doing so exposed the gas meter, so hiding that became a priority.
