Ideas for plants/trees in front yard - newbie

15 years ago

I am redoing portion of my front yard and was at a loss of ideas on what kind of plants to put in. Below are some pictures of the front yard.

For starters, I am thinking of putting some kind of flowering plants in front of the window.

In the bricked area, I was wondering if planting a tree would be a good idea? Or would it be too close to the house?

I am looking for low maintenance trees/plant suggestions. Thanks.
