Want to get more creative in your front yard landscaping? Front yard landscaping does not necessarily mean that you have to limit yourselves to just flowering plants! You can experiment with a variety of items such as sculptures, little pools, a cozy cabana or a sitting area.
Here are twelve front yard landscaping plans that you can use to make your front yard more appealing while exploring your creative side at the same time.
Front Yard Landscaping Ideas
1. No Lawn Grass
Most homeowners choose lawn grass for their front yard landscaping design. You can move away from the convention and instead fill up your front yard with little shrubs and trees to give it a lush green cover.
2. Use Sculptures
The use of sculptures gives your front yard landscape a minimalist and sophisticated look. Grow a hedge to keep off prying eyes, cover your front yard with pea gravel and place a stylish sculpture to make your front yard contemporary and stylish.
3. Magical Woodland View
Create a shade garden using trees and shrubs to give your front yard landscaping a cool and appealing look. Mix and match with colours and textures to give an impression of a walk in the woods to your visitors.
4. Use Discarded Items
You can use discarded farm items like a water trough to amp up the look of your front yard. You can place the trough in your garden with flowering plants to add more character to your front yard.
5. Add a Fire Pit
Although quite an unconventional idea, you can create a fire pit in your front yard. Not only does this add more style to your front yard landscape, but it can be used as a patio for your family to sit together on a chilly evening and relax.
6. Keeping it Minimalistic
If you are not someone who can dedicate a lot of time to taking care of plants, you can go for minimalistic front yard landscaping. Take inspiration from the barrenness of a ranch and try a graveled porch lined with desert plantings.
7. Bring the Kitchen Garden to the Front
Most people plant their kitchen gardens in the backyard. You can bring your kitchen garden into your front yard and fence it off with white picket to give your front yard an old-world charm!
8. Go Eco-Friendly
Get your rainwater harvesting system installed in the front yard. Not only is this a very modern approach to front yard landscaping, but also meaningful and rainwater.
9. Place a Bird Bath
Play with colours and textures by getting vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and squash planted in raised beds. You can place a birdbath amidst these for birds during the summers.
10. Get a Waterfall
If you want to keep your front yard landscaping minimalistic yet interesting, get a waterfall created. You can also get stone steps laid down to go with the waterfall and voila! You have a calm place to rest and watch the world right in your front yard!
11. Contemporary Styling with a Mascot
A mascot or a unique sculpture can add a lot of drama to your front yard. It is contemporary, interesting and attractive if custom made!
12. A Small Sit Out
You can create a deck or a small seating area in the front yard. This can serve as a great place for conversations and get-togethers.
