Front yard landscaping is crucial because it’s the first thing people see when they visit your home or pass by. Your goal is to make the space look great, but a small area may make this problematic.
You also want to ensure that your landscaping design will not be too expensive to maintain or start to look bad over time.
Here are three excellent front yard landscaping ideas that will look great and last:
- Minimalist Water Feature
Most people don’t think they have room, but installing a small fountain or water feature in your front yard can look great and create a calming vibe to greet your guest.
Fountains are great for shady areas where plants don’t grow very well. Surround your water feature with carefully chosen rocks and plants to complete the look.
- Boxwood Edged Path
Front paths create great landscaping projects because they allow homeowners to design their front lawn how they want, and the approach encourages people to stay off the grass or other landscaping features.
Boxwood shrubs make elegant evergreen borders that are low maintenance but need sun, water, and mulching to grow well.
- Elevated Rock Steps
Another stunning front yard design idea is to plant garden beds on either side with elevated rock steps going to your front door.
Stone slabs are an attention-grabbing, long-lasting option that offers a range of colours and sizes. They are great for homeowners looking for a more natural aesthetic in their front yard landscaping.
