Garden Design: When is it Time to Change Bedlines?

I visit my childhood home often.  Instead of biking its few roads as tradition, I walk them.
.
The house originally on this site, below, was my favorite in the neighborhood.
.
A confluence of hurricane & money conspired for it to be torn down, another lot bought, and this home fills the new space.
.
Behind this home is Clear Creek meeting Galveston Bay, salt water meeting fresh.
.
Remember the time before these trees were planted.  Stunning to accept, trees grow, shade arrives, time passes.
.
Approaching, the classic color trinity, green-brown-white, never fails to delight.
.
Nor the evergreen groundcover, Asiatic jasmine.  Especially against St. Augustine lawn.


Proof of time's passage, below.  St. Augustine being shaded away.
.
Time to reshape the beds.
.

Instead of focusing merely on the present, reshape bedlines into the future, below.


 Now that you are an expert Bedline Garden Designer, you see your next project, below.


Curious, which visit will I walk by and they've reshaped their bedlines?

Beautiful landscape, above, ready for more than mow-blow-go.  Want my pruning expert to release the trees & shrubs from their prison of electric trimmers.  Take away the ca 1980's subdivision builder brain and enter into the myriad histories of le jardin rustique from across the globe, and centuries.  At this price range, more than a few dollars can be made in real estate value.
.
Ca. 1980's subdivision builder brain?  Still in use at new construction.  And, like a new car, value drops the moment ownership is signed.
