While there are many plants to choose from when landscaping your front yard, utilizing evergreens is an excellent way to guarantee year-round interest, structure and privacy even in small front yards. They may not seem as exciting as perennial upstarts or deciduous shrubs that bloom in spring and summer, but evergreens can be relied upon to keep your plot green no matter the season.
What's more, evergreen hedging, shrubs and topiary are great for supporting wildlife, providing shelter and protection for birds and small mammals during the colder months. Think daphne domes or holly hedges that not only look good but are ideal evergreen homes for local robins and sparrows.
