Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Pruning Mariesii, 1 by Muddy1

I'm on my way...save me some fine specimens!

Here are photos of the area in question - 2 areas, really, separated by a young Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliantissima' that is barely visible behind the liriope:

The area in the first photo is 144+ square feet, more if I relocate the 2 ratty-looking, recently-moved and cut-back azaleas and 2 Sambucus canadensis seedlings planted behind them. Right now, I'm leaning towards moving the azaleas and Sambucus and filling in the gap between the yews with a large conifer of a contrasting color (maybe Abies concolor).

The second photo shows 340 square feet; however, realistically the stump and roots remaining underground will limit what I can plant. I'd like to squeeze in at least one of the Sambucus, 1 Amelanchier laevis, Mariesii's pollinator and 3 additional Viburnums.
