Simple landscape ideas

Having a modest front lawn isnt any excuse for not placing any sort of consideration or work into innovative gardening ideas which would set your home with curb appeal well above the neighbors. Allow me to share 5 easy and quick front garden landscape designs ideas for small front yards that wont break your budget and may be finished in a Saturday and Sunday.

1. Make a container garden on each side of the entrance steps or porch. Adding containers in the same color will add a unified appearance. Alter the size and height for aesthetic interest. Utilizing the same colours and shades in the floral colour pallette may look quite stylish and elegant.

2. Incorporate a small lawn space in the corner of the front garden as part of your Landscaping ideas. Plant hassle-free maintenance evergreens as well as a couple of small flowering bushes for softness and colour. This will create some privacy from the road without yet not crowd the house too much and will allow sunshine into the house.

3. Add a six-foot round brick paver patio. Create a space at the front entrance into the house or off to the side of the sidewalk close to the door. Place a small open-air table and chair set for a couple in the center, add a potted plant and you have created a enticing spot whether your company are coming or going. Place small shrubbery or even perennial plants round the outdoor patio, and finish it off with a 4 inch layer of mulch.

4. Entice butterflies and soften the hard edges of the driveway at the same time with small pockets of flowerbeds planted with flowers that attract butterflies. Vibrant blooms like zinnia, gay feather, cosmos, and lantana create the sweet nectar the butterflies love, will prove to add color and interest to your front lawn. Include a small bird bath filled with clean water and a rock for the butterflies to sun on.

5. Freshen up the foundation plantings. Pull old and unhealthy plants out of the landscaping, and prune and trim what is left. Fill in the new bare spots with grasses and native plants. Using these plants conserves water, and will give the front yard an updated contemporary look and feel. Add a small water feature near the front door. Trickling water can be welcoming and soothing and the movement adds energy. Incorporating patio lights round the brand new lawn can light up the evening to show off the front yard and also accentuate the house features.
