here is a detailed breakdown of the landscaping in front of the building shown in the image overall style the landscaping is highly structured manicured and modern designed to complement the clean geometric lines of the brick townhome architecture it serves as a neat buffer between the public sidewalk and the private residences specific elements rounded shrubs hedges the most prominent feature is a continuous orderly row of dense rounded green shrubs resembling boxwoods these are planted uniformly along the base of the building and inside the raised brick planter boxes creating a low manicured green border conical evergreens interspersed strategically among the rounded shrubs often near the entryways or structural dividing lines of the building are taller darker green cone shaped shrubs similar to arborvitae or upright junipers these add vertical interest and break up the horizontal line of the lower bushes young trees several small slender trunked deciduous style trees are planted at relatively equal intervals along the length of the property they feature sparse delicate light green canopies that reach up toward the second story windows softening the harsh brick facade without obstructing the view raised planter beds much of the landscaping is contained within low dark brick retaining walls that match the building s exterior these raised beds project slightly toward the sidewalk and are finished with a distinct light colored white or cream stone coping along the top edges ground cover and hardscaping the soil beneath the plants appears to be covered in a dark mulch small paved walkways neatly cut through these planted areas at a perpendicular angle to connect the main sidewalk directly to the individual front doors adjacent lawn on the extreme far right edge of the image beyond the structured planter beds of the main building the landscaping transitions into a simple flat patch of green grass
