Your front yard is the first thing that neighbors and visitors see, and is your best opportunity to create a first impression.
Traditionally, a front yard consisted of a green lawn, a few foundation shrubs, a cement driveway, and sidewalk that leads to the front door.
This often-overlooked and underutilized outdoor space presents many opportunities, as well as unique design challenges.
Evaluate your space. What do you want your front yard to become? A functional area for lounging and playing, or simply a more visually pleasing space?
How you choose to landscape your front yard says what you want to convey to others about your home and yard.
