I'm looking for a native evergreen shrub to use as a border along my driveway and sidewalk. I hate juniper and want something w/nice leaves.

A non-native plant to consider is Nandina, also called heavenly bamboo. It can be trimmed into a hedge and remains evergreen. There are dwarf varieties, if you want something under 5' in height.
