There is missing information. Please post a picture of the area if you can, tell us how much sun it gets and include where you live.

I wouldn't be able to give you a good answer unless I knew your climate zone. If you can include this, then I will be more than happy to help.

Evergreen shrubs would be a good option for something that will look good in winter. Choose species and varieties that do well in zone 5, and plant them as soon as possible.
