Tips for Creating a Functional Front Yard

Some simple tips for creating a functional front yard include:

1. Create a Design Plan

Since the design of your front yard landscaping should complement that architectural elements on your home, it is important to first take the time to create a design plan before starting any work. Make sure to take into consideration how much space is available and to create a set budget to work from.

2. Incorporate Walkways

Having a simple path leading up to your front doorway can be an easy way to add visual appeal to any front yard landscape. Consider creating a simple and straight path from the sidewalk to your front door that is lined with plants and lights to create a welcoming atmosphere.

3. Use Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting can be used to create a safer environment for family, friends, and guests, while also transforming the overall look of your front yard landscaping. Incorporating landscape lighting into your front yard design can be a simple way to enhance the ambiance of your landscape after sundown.

4. Select Low-Maintenance Plants

When it comes to selecting the plants, trees, and shrubs that you want to include in your front yard landscape, it is important to only select plants that you will be able to easily maintain. Consider purchasing low-maintenance plants and flowers that will not require a lot of time and attention.

5. Keep it Simple

While you are working on the design plan for your front yard landscape, it is important to keep in mind that you will most likely be unable to incorporate everything you want. Make sure to keep your design elements simple and to plan out a design that will work well with the space available.
