Photos and a general idea of where you are (close major city) can help us help you.

Added a photo to my post. Located in Southern Maine zone 6a

Hahaha I can’t help you much on the plantings but I live part time up in Eastport (or down in the local parlance)

What do you want from the plantings? Shade? Privacy? Just to ease the transition from the house wall to the lawn? How much maintenance do you want- are you an avid gardener or do you want to once and done as much as possible?

I’m looking for something very low maintenance, maybe some conifers? Something to add some depth and really just make the house look nice. This side of the house is visable from the road and it looks plain and unfinshed to me.

Mountain laurel does really well in southern maine. Inkberry is another native evergreen. Rhodos are a good option, too. My PJM does really well outside of Portland, although the leaves tend toward purplish green in winter. You can also add some red twig dogwoods and winterberry. They aren't evergreen but the red berries on winterberry and red stems on the dogwoods will provide some contrast.

Are you thinking of a row of shrubs along the foundation or would you also consider a spruce further out in the yard? I'd like you to have something taller.

Don't know how much you're up for (plants are mostly Sigrid's great suggestions):

Wow that looks great! I love the shutters. Our lot is very narrow, it ends at that tree stump in the foreground, so we’d like to keep any plantings along the foundation. I love all these ideas though thank you!
