What should I do here? This is a circular garden at the end of my driveway next to the sidewalk.
There is a dogwood at the center (which I love and hope will stay forever). There are gigantic bizarrely shaped, albeit gorgeous, azaleas that are stretched in odd ways trying to get sun, I suppose. The trunks are like tree trunks. They invade the sidewalk and have to be cut often. There's a miniature rosebush in there somewhere cause I can see them peeking out the top reaching for light. The ground is hosta and vinca and English ivy.
There is a giant holly-ish tree that in the past appears to have been topped to keep it bush-like and from growing up into the dogwood like it is now. This tree is sharp, invades the driveway and all the other plants, and is home to a bunch of nuisance house sparrows. BUT it offers nice privacy from the road and passersby on the sidewalk.
Every spring pedestrians stop and take pictures in front of it, cars stop with phone cameras out. It's gorgeous, but it's unmanageable.
Is there a way to clean this up without ruining it?
