I've been asked to help a couple choose plants for their yard. I went to see and tool pictures of a couple of plants they believe are in the wrong places to be happy. In order to tell them where to move them, I need to know what they are. I have a TINY yard, so have little experience with large plants.

The redder one I believe is a common shrub/bush. It also has been severely pruned to go where they have it. What is it?

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
