I am considering removing all of this and planting grass or putting in stone. Any suggestions or feedback is greatly appreciated. I would love to see some pictures of what others have done along the sides of their homes.
Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.
P.S. My neighbor has mentioned that they intend to paint their house this year and that presents another issue maybe.

I don't particularly like bushes right up against my house - they bring in insects like wasps and mold. In general, though, I prefer trees and any other plants or colorful stones to the bland, antiseptic look of property line to property line grass. Be careful to ask, "mommy may I" to your ARC before putting in any large area of stones.
