If the sun will pass from north to south or east to west, you will need to know how much sun those shrubs and flowers will get after the trees are planted. If the house side of the planting will be north, that will limit what shrubs you can plant.

The sun always rises in the East and sets in the West.

Travis,

I don't believe I said that!! I meant to say if the BERM is east to west or north to south it will make a difference as to how much sun the shrubs and flowers will get.

Thanks for catching that,
Newt
