Your front yard presents your home, welcomes your guests, and greets you at the end of a long day. Your home is your sanctuary, and the front yard can reflect the peace and joy you feel there. Focus on this special presentation area and take a look at our front-yard design ideas and examples.
Design ideas for the front yard – raised beds
Designing a front yard with the wow factor is an art. Here we explore key landscaping elements and look at tips and techniques for creating a welcoming entrance garden. There is no single right way to achieve a beautiful effect. In fact, you do not need a large house to have a front yard with impact. Have fun, and let the pictures below inspire you.
Front-yard design ideas with Mediterranean flair
Showcase a variety of colors and textures. Abundant planting, rounded gravel borders, and clearly defined edges create visual interest and draw residents and guests toward the front door.
Small pond in the front yard
You can even bring larger garden elements into the front yard, where they are used less often. Gravel paths, trellises, abundant flower beds, and a pond can all find a place in the entrance garden.
