I'm not a fan of any landscaping done with the specific intention of it being an ongoing maintenance task.

There is a way to get those yucky looking plants to look normal again... If yer willing to cut down to the ground and start over...

They spring back from the stump immediately... You then have to pick one or two or three stems to encourage while keeping the rest cut back...

But... Completely agree that something that requires constant re-doing is crappy yard maintenance...

So much else I could be doing instead.
