aesthetically pleasing and downright more enjoyable place to live.

BEFORE

Using a combination of both foliage and hardscape, it is entirely feasible

to create a work of art in your own front yard.

AFTER












Notice how the small front porch is framed with foliage of different heights, textures, and

colors. The added brick walkway from the drive to the front door is an open invitation for

friends and family.












Likewise, the front walkway was updated in brick also and surrounded with both

colorful plants and hardscaping. The steps were elongated to give the scene a more

cascading appeal.












Impatiens add

additional color under

the weeping willow

and along the

foundation planting

areas.

Emerald Green

Arborvitae Spirals

flank each side of the

porch steps.

Variegated Lirope are

perfect grass-like

plants to frame the

walkway.












Adding bursts of

color and plants

with wonderful

scents dress

can enhance the

appeal of any

front porch.












A canvass waiting to

be painted offers

lots of possibilities.

How would

landscape this front

yard?

Add trees? Cover in

grass? Add

foundation plants?












Is this what you

envisioned?

The right

landscape design

can have a

dramatic impact on

your home.

From the choice of

colors to the

materials, each

component can

add to the overall

aesthetic value of

your home.












To enhance the small portico entrance, a canopy was added. Plants

include crape myrtle victor, red tip photinia, variegated lirope, and river

rock.












The brick retaining wall helped to remove the slope of the yard. Additional

river rock and variegated lirope frame the walkway entrance.












Create a

more formal

look by

choosing

heavier

planters and

adding more

continuity into

your planting

areas.












There are several

ways to handle

planting areas like

this one. You

could add more

colorful plants and

different mulch.












Or, your could do

this!

Often times you

can turn a rather

mundane

planting area into

something quite

eye-catching.

Change the

mixture of plants
