Hi Jack,

I haven't forgotten you, just trying to come up with some ideas here. I don't think you ever answered my questions, so help me out here.

How tall?
How wide (how deep is the bed)?
Full sun, part sun, part shade, shade?
Evergreen since it's in front of the house?

Also, how about Irish Yew instead of the sky rocket junipers? They have more girth, though they will get tall if you don't trim the tops.

One more observation on my part. If you put the narrow and tall junipers (or any other tall plant that isn't rounded) on the outer corners, then you will be accenting the boxy shape of the house. They are like an exclamation point. You might want to look at some landscape design books, especially on Colonial houses.

If it were my house, I would definately use evergreens as a base, especially in zone 5.
