Don't give up or lose sight that many skilled plant and wall experts are not computer savvy or have drawing skills. It is very important that you have some references and can go look and talk to folks who have used them before and you can see that the walls are level and secure and well placed. Be careful of adding anything to your landscape. You will have too much quickly. The plants the builder gave you are good ones and hardy ones. The landscapers dug the back ones up for us when we put in the pool and temporarily planted them for a couple of months in the back yard and replanted them and we didn't lose a plant. You can come and see our walls anytime. I would love to meet you.
