marvingarden is an unknown quantity at this point
I have been faced with a very similar situation, in my design i am putting in ivy groundcover and mugo pines, which will get big (in about 20 years),But i think the 'pumilo' stays small, anyway it can be kept in check with mininmal pruning. Another option I thought of was spreading yew. I know what you mean about the juniper, they can be so pedestrian, but in the right situation it is the right plant. I think if you have 4-5' to play with there are other options available than the rug. JM
