Remove the CM's they will never look as good as they should. Replace with sweet bay magnolias, do I would put 5 lorapedulums in place of the azaleas and Indian hawthorn, then put either some verigated lariupe or dwarf mondo grass on the corners around sweet bay magnolias

That looks like a Camelia

The CM's have to go, they are just too close to the house. I would remove the extra IH on the right, build the beds out on the ends to give a freeform look and get the trees away from the house. Plant a sweet olive on either side with shishi sasanquas around the base.

Thanks guys I appreciate the advice.
I guess I'm going to give it a shot and try to remove the CM trees and the IH on the right. The magnolia and sweet olive trees look like they'd be a nice replacement. I'm going to go to my local nursery and see what they think would be best.
I'll update y'all in a few weeks after I get things worked out.

I would personally pay some attention to the whole mess for a year and try to shape it up....
the crepe myrtles are absolutely too close to the house, but could be managed with a couple of trimmings during each summer...
as for the other plants, I would just put in some contrasting (lighter), shorter plants along the front to give it some interest...maybe some lariope or something like that....either a solid row or patches in between the larger plants would do...

I would really like to know what kind of tree that is also. Like it a lot.

Can never go wrong with sweet olive. They smell great
