Front yards are the outdoor equivalent of an entryway. They are high-traffic spaces that you, your guests, your neighbors and, well, anyone who walks past your home can get a good glimpse at. And yet, similar to hallways, they can be slightly neglected when it comes to making them beautiful. We understand these spaces can be tricky when it comes to aesthetics as they need to be practical too if you want them to be home to your car, and they can be tight on space too, or awkward in shape. But regardless, front yards deserve your attention.
You don't need to totally overhaul the area either to make it look more appealing, in fact, you could give it an upgrade without actually having to plant anything new – ideal if you are tackling a space that's more driveway than yard, or if lack of square footage means you couldn't plant much more than the smallest of blooms. We asked landscape designers for their top tips on how to beautify a modern front yard without the need to plant anything up.
