So I know how to make displacements on on top of bushes, but I'm having trouble making it on sides. Any help would be appreciated.

When painting geometry, did you change the Axis to X or Y (or if you literally can't create displacements on the sides of a brush, does the face have 4 sides)?

How do I change the Axis from X to Y? I'm sorry, I'm just pretty new to hammer.

Once in the Paint Geometry tool, just click the little dropdown under Axis and you can change between them. Your cursor in the 3D view shows an arrow with the direction of which you've selected.
