Welcome here Elvin. Those Cedar trees have outgrown that space. I would remove them and put something else in their place. You may want to consider something like a hedge row that you can keep trimmed to a height of 4 feet so as not to cover the window. Landscapers suggest all foundation plantings should be 18 inches away from the foundation. I learned this lesson the hard way when we were trying to sell our home and in order for the appraisal to pass I had to trim all of our foundation hedges. Lot's of work!

I do not know what zone you are in, but you can find it under the Useful Tools drop down menu at the top of this page. I noticed that you have a row of Shasta Daisy's underneath and you could dig those up before you remove the Cedars, then replace them.

Good luck!
