7 Easy Front Yard Design Ideas

Use late summer as an opportunity to increase your home's value. From colorful plant edging to picket fences, here are seven easy front yard design ideas to enhance your curb appeal. 

1. Create an Entertaining Area

Welcome old and new visitors alike with a front yard entertaining space. Adding a patio is one idea that allows for relaxed dining or observation. If you want more privacy, add a small hedge or flower skirt. 

2. Add Containers

Do you have a mostly paved front yard? Create a lovely container garden to bring color and texture. Place containers on your porch, steps, and the side of your house. Choose colorful containers to add an extra layer of beauty. 

3. Incorporate Bloomers

Make your yard a welcoming and eye-catching space by planting cheerful, bold bloomers. Plant perennials to embrace a cottage-style design.

4. Install Colorful Edging

Mix and match plants to create a colorful, textured edge that will enhance the overall beauty of your front yard. One lovely edging option is Mountain Frost™ Pink Twinkle Dianthus to add a splash of color to your garden edges.

5. Enhance a Slope

Rather than a grassy slope, you can turn a front yard hill into a stunning flower garden. This type of design provides a unique focal point in your yard and is also easier to maintain. 

6. Plant a Hedge or Install a Low Fence

Define your property line and add privacy with attractive shrubbery or a decorative fence, such as a classic white picket fence. Fences can also draw attention to your house or entrance. 

7. Plant Evergreens

Ensure that your front yard looks lovely year-round by planting evergreens. Evergreens come in shrubs, trees, and ground covers, so you won't be lacking in heights, colors, and textures.
