The front yard is the face of your home. It reflects on the kind of personality and character the inhabitant has. A properly designed and crafted landscape transforms your home’s appeal to bring versatile, welcoming and charming settings that provide beautiful sceneries where your people can relax and enjoy the view.
The backyard is also essential, but the face of the home sets the tone, vibe, and the appeal. The following are some of the ideas that can apply for a beautiful front yard:
Paving
Adding a concrete or rock pathway can enhance your front yard look by adding that natural looking pathway. Irregularly shaped stones or a slate placing is according to how people move about your home. Paving does not have a formula; therefore, it can be customizable to the owner’s preferences and liking.
Place Water Features
Water features are a known sign of life. Placing one of these brings the inviting and nourishing atmosphere from the peaceful ambience paired with the sound of flowing water. Water features that you can source for are ponds, an oasis or a fountain. These features attract bird species and frogs, providing a natural park or scenery full of life. However, when introducing ponds, it’s advisable to first consult on which fish species are adaptable with the size of the “lake” you are placing.
Raised Beds
Raised beds stand out as the first features that someone lays their eyes on once at your place. Raised beds come from any material from garden timber, wood and even clay structures. A raised bed is customizable on the inside with marbles, plants or artifacts that are attractive. The beauty of these beds is that you can include foreign soil types and plant exotic or indigenous plants that are not compatible with the natural soil of your area.
Potted Plants
Potted plants are one of the most used decorations both in the interior and exterior of homes. The beauty of potted plants is that you can always move them whenever you’re tired of them or are interested in new arrangement designs. They are less labor-intensive, one of the best for newbie gardeners compared to in-ground plants that require frequent management practices. The addition of bright plants or flowers could brighten up a dark yard or one that is not placed on the reach of the sun and still bring colorful visual compositions.
Greenery Garland
Garlands provide cohesive concepts to a home’s beauty by blending it in one with the already vegetative yard. It offers great natural beauty and that jungle or forest touch to your home. To some, it might be tedious in the regular trimming or shaping of the garland plants, but the beauty of it is that you can still opt for artificial garland plants.
Flower Bed Borders
Flower bed borders provide distinguishable visual concepts to your home. Stone edges help define your yard in terms of vegetation and concrete structures or beautiful flowering plants.
