Modern Front Yard Landscaping Ideas

Rock Planter Centerpiece

• A rock planter with vegetation can decorate a large expanse of grass in the front yard. Choose a uniform shape, such as an oval or rectangle or a free-form design. Decide whether the combination of plants will mask the view of the home from the curb.

Flower Gardens

• Some landscaped yards emphasize the different colors of carefully-arranged flower gardens. You can skip bushes and shrubs and choose flower gardens with geometric designs. Ornate flower beds will make a home with a one-color paint scheme look more distinct.

Front Paths

• Not all homes are situated on city-style or planned community lots where driveways and homes are situated in patterns. Rural and estate lots can include a large area in the front, and parking can be elsewhere, like a detached garage to the side or back of the home. Create a landscaping plan around both sides of a front path that ends at a home obscured from the road by trees, planters and gardens.
