MUST HAVE ADDITIONS IN YOUR FRONT YARD

The front garden is the most apparent area of the house to others. The greatest method to establish the initial impression you want visitors to have is to landscape your front yard to match your home and style. And it doesn't take a lot of money or experience in landscaping to make a difference.

There are various ways and ideas for diverse area sizes and shapes, different climates and soil conditions, sun and shadow, and beauty in all four seasons.

A Modern Touch:

● The huge hydrangeas in front of this modern wood and stone residence are an excellent choice for adding curved curves and color. The hydrangeas are edged with a short boxwood hedge and flanked by tall clumps of decorative grasses, and produce a dynamic palette of color throughout the season.

Cottage Style Yard

● The basic doorway of this quaint cottage-style property in California is accentuated with color and a dramatic vintage lighting fixture. The front yard landscaping is similarly modest but eye-catching: a big tree, some simple little shrubs flanking the door, and desert-friendly perennials in gentle neutral blue-greens that compliment the bright aqua trim.

Simple and Close to Nature:

● You can make your landscaping design as simple or as elaborate as you desire. Planting evergreen shrubs is a simple method to create a landscape that lasts all four seasons. These low-growing boxwoods require only occasional trimming to be clean and healthy, and they look great all year. The addition of flagstone stepping stones or flagstone paver to the walkway serves as a great idea.

Containers and Planter Boxes:

● Containers can be an eye-catching design element that is simple to maintain and can be changed as frequently as desired. These antique cast iron urns have a timeless appearance. The juxtaposition of bent willow branches and vividly colored annuals is both unexpected and eyecatching.

Balcony Garden:

● But what if you live in a city flat without a front garden?

Window boxes may undoubtedly make an impression and get admiring glances from passers-by. These balcony gardens are filled with tropical plants, trailing vines, and brilliant perennials in overflowing pots and window boxes.

A Driveway Garden:

● If your main entrance is a gate or door, your design selections should emphasize not only beautifying the area but also low-maintenance plants. The palette's stark contrast is created simply by using white-flowering perennials that echo the dramatic white wall with its dark oak door.
