I really love the look of a conifer garden... at least on one side.

I like modern homes without landscaping. I'd place smooth black Mexican river stones in the area. The area is so large though I think you might also need 3- 5 -7 low growing Juniper (ground cover type shrubs) here and there amid the stones.

You should search for front gardens in Houzz and pick photos. Put "garden style" in the Houzz search bar then pick stories.

Then decide what elements you like. Here's one with some evergreens, grasses and hydrangeas.

Here's one that's all grasses for a prairie touch (but use native grasses)

With that sun look at Hibiscus. Valantine Crush is available at MI nurseries. Here's some examples.

Some option

For low maintenance, I would go with low-growing evergreens that don't require pruning and don't block any windows. You can always tuck in some annuals for more color during the growing season.

The brickwork on the house is lovely. I wouldn't cover it up. Use a low-growing groundcover for a neat, uniform look that will complement the style of the house.

@Celery. Visualization, Rendering images, what type of evergreens are those?

@woodrose, what evergreens would you suggest?

I would suggest visiting a good garden center/nursery in your area and see what's available. They should be able to able to give you advice on what will survive and thrive.

You might want to check out your local nurseries, what they have for your zone.

I agree with those who think you shouldn't grow anything tall.
