Creating an inviting front yard landscape is a lot like creating a masterpiece. Your property is your landscape. With a mixture of color and shapes, you’ll set a brand new scene.
What will yours convey? Will it match the ambiance of the home and bring value to your property? Blue Landscaping and Contracting Group and Blue Outdoor Solutions is here to provide a few starting points for your front yard landscaping and how you can plan a beautiful scenery.
First, we’ll start by dividing your front yard into specific elements.
Making an Entrance: Planning Your Front Yard Entryway
The path from your driveway to your door is one many visitors and family members will walk. Because of this, it is one of the primary focal points of your front yard landscape. Give it the proper attention by optimizing this visual element. You can create an enchanting or elegant walkway through different pathway materials, steps, and accenting plants or shrubbery. Corridors and courtyards also set the stage. Aim to match your materials with that of your home or doorway. It’s style and color should complement the home.
Pave the Way with a Pleasant Driveway Design
Like your entryway, your driveway is also a main focal point of your front yard. With a driveway design you have to combine functionality with aesthetics. As you design it, keep parking top of mind. Will it be easy to navigate in and out of with multiple cars?
One of the most popular driveways is a circular design. It allows for easy coming and going while giving you artistic liberty on the centerpiece. How you decorate this is up to you, based on budget and preference. You can add a fountain, stick to flora features, or make it a blend of both. Stonework, statues, and even benches can be a nice touch.
Consider what you pave with, too. After all, not every driveway has to be made of concrete. Brick, gravel, and stone are also options. Dare to be creative and don’t be afraid to consult a professional like Blue Landscaping and Contracting Group.
Make sure to avoid these big landscaping mistakes as you plan!
Lead the Way with Walkways and Paths
A perfectly planned pathway can really add character to your landscape. Create a garden destination or a functional area. Walkways can be made of various, such as pavers, bricks, flagstone, or even concrete. Dress it up with accent plants, stones, or other outdoor decor.
Much of how you utilize a walkway depends upon your overall front yard layout as well as you creativity. Consider these great tips on enhancing curb appeal to get your imagination moving!
