Having lived here now a good while I've observed "over-planting" and it looks hideous after a short while due to how quickly things grow here. That happens up north though, too. We've always tried to be of the "school" of less is more with landscaping until you've lived with the "look" for awhile. As another poster stated...you can always add.
As an aside to this...saw someone off from Stillwater who had put some expense and effort into an arbor swing in their front yard. It wasn't long though that it was gone. I would bet they hadn't contacted ARC first so it's always best to go that route!!
