Silly Question

We are having the neighborhood landscaping guy give us some help in our flowerbeds. Turns out, Scott, nor I, have any talent in the gardening department and our yard always manages to look like a Monet. From the road it looks okay, has all the elements you think it should, but if you get up close, it’s just a big ole mess lacking the finer details. Plants were overgrown, weeds were thriving and there was no rhyme or reason. I had no idea how to fix it except the weed issue which I was working on. So in comes landscape guy with plenty of ideas and expertise, both we were lacking. I’m okay with all the ideas, except I can’t get on board with elephant ears, they just aren’t my thing. Oh, and the whole purpose for my post, he wants to move my Crepe Myrtles from in front my door. He says it blocks the view of the front of my house, which it does, but I’ve always been okay with. Scott liked the idea, he’d wanted to open it up like that for awhile, but I just can’t do it. Those Crepe Myrtles have been there for 8 years. It’s taken us this long to get them to a size and shape I like, although landscape man already cut them into a new shape I haven’t quite gotten used to. Not to mention, I know if we move them, they’ll die. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but in my mind, they are dead plants moving. I like that they block the view, it makes it feel more private. Am I a lunatic? So what is your advice, not that I’ll necessarily follow it, but you never know. I’m a gardening landscape disaster. Give it to me straight!  Okay, here’s the options… Lose the trees, you don’t live in a tree-house. Lose a couple trees, open it up some. Keep the trees, fight the power. Last but certainly not least… Who cares! It’s a few trees. Do whatever the hell you want! I’m leaning towards the last one, but don’t let me sway you!
