Identify a Plant/Shrub/Bush-like growth in front of my house?

Ok you landscaping nuts...I have a tall plant in front of my house. It sprouts stalks that have 4-6 inch long, and 2-3 inch wide leaves. The leaves develop yellow spots on them when they are exposed to sunlight (it's not damaging to the plant, they do not die-they just develop yellow patches). They have grown to about 6 feet high, and will grow wide as well. I joke that they eat my house because tehy grow at a rapid rate. I live in Southern Maryland, so it is quite warm here, with little snow. They do not appear to go dormant during the winter. Help, any directions to take in ID would be super.

It sounds like a Laurel. Have a look at the pictures to be sure.
Reply:I think it would be a box wood of some type.The fact that it has no flower or fruit makes this likely.see site
Reply:could possibly be a privet hedge.
