The first sentence is a static description of pure scenery. Fences and paths point out that this is a rural area, and the "hedge waterfall" has a width. Using "sparse" to point out its state, it is obvious that there is a gap between the two, so that you can see the mountain road outside the fence. "One path deep" means that there is only one mountain road, and it is very long and extends into the distance. The wide hedge waterfalls and narrow paths set each other off, and the long hedges set each other off, highlighting the freshness and tranquility of the countryside.
The second sentence is also a static description of pure scenery. On the roadside, the peach blossoms and plum blossoms on the branches have fallen, but the leaves have not grown very thick, showing the natural and simple style of the countryside.
