Spring is here and summer is just around the corner! That means it’s time to get planning your front yard landscaping. Have you thought about what you want to accomplish with your front yard this year? Perhaps it’s something you couldn’t complete last year or maybe you’ve been skimming landscaping magazines and come up with a brand new idea. Either way, now is the time to start planning.
From our experience in the landscaping industry, we’ve selected some great ideas for you to implement at your home this year. These landscaping ideas will surely get your neighbors saying “Wow!”.
Paved Pathways
Think about reducing the amount of grass on your lawn space by installing a beautiful paved pathway! Selecting the right stones for the pathway is the key to creating your front yard masterpiece. Adding in stone pathways reduces the amount of grass and plants that need to be taken care of while adding a sophisticated appeal to your property. However, before your jump in make sure that your property suits this kind of landscaping. Some properties look great with stone walkways and others suit more greenery!
Cedar Fences
One of the nicest things you can do to spruce up your yard is to add some cedar hedge fencing. It really depends on the property if you can accomplish this in your front yard. If your front yard has the space, cedar hedging is a great idea to add a touch of privacy and elegance on your property.
Showcase Your Pots
Adding some large, beautiful pots to your front yard is another great way to add sophistication to your current home landscaping. It is also very easy! Head out to your local garden store and check out this seasons pottery. Pick out two large matching pots to sit at the top of your driveway and fill them with shrubbery of your choice. For those of you with a busy summer, this is an easy way to impress the neighbors without too much hassle!
Hanging Flower Baskets
Another quick and easy way to spruce up your front yard is to buy large hanging flower baskets from your local home and garden store. Pick the flowers that will compliment your property, but don’t be afraid to add a bit of color! Hanging a few flower baskets in your front yard will add a sense of completeness to the other summer yard work you will be doing.
Remember to have fun and get the family involved!
