Cinta, I think you made an amazing transformation! If you think it's too much, maybe some selective pruning would suffice. I also overplant for two reasons: everything in my yard is on a slope, and I'm impatient. So when it gets to be too much I cut back or remove pieces or exchange for smaller pieces. But seriously I think it is a nice selection of colors and shapes, and it doesn't seem to be drastically out of scale with the house at all.
