Looks like some “invaders”are trying to take over your evergreen bush

Ok now I need to figure out what to take out. This guy was here when we moved into this house with neglected flower beds

Well you could dog it all up and separate it out to identify each one or just make a new clean area

The center plant is likely a chinese elm. The tall one in the back seems to be a willow oak, and the low one is chamberbitter. The oak will definitely get too big for that spot (but could make wonderful bonsai stock or be replanted elsewhere), the elm is what was intended there but is kinda weedy tbh, and the chamberbitter is a weed. I also see something viney (likely wintercreeper, honey vine milkweed, or virginia creeper- all weeds) and what appears to be a box shrub off to the side (could keep it; they're very popular but kinda basic for landscaping)
