Front Yard Landscaping Ideas<\/h2>
The front yard is the first impression. It\u2019s the first thing that passersby or visitors see when they look at your house. Here are a few landscaping ideas for your front lawn<\/a> that can make that lasting impact.<\/p>
Walkway<\/h3>
![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/pathway-244494_1280-1.jpg\")

Pathways are great for practical reasons, such as guiding people through the lawn and making a safer, more direct path for postal service workers and wheelbarrows.<\/p>
Walkways are great for aesthetic reasons, too. You can pick which pavers or natural stones you want that match your style and design ideas. To add to that, you can personally direct where the walkway<\/a> takes people \u2014 potentially showing off more aspects of your yard in the process.<\/p>
Planting Beds<\/h3>

If you want to go with that pop of color, try adding some blooming annuals and perennials in a flower bed. Or maybe you prefer herbs over flowers, in which case go for more of a garden design with your planting beds. <\/p>
No room for large beds of flowers or gardens? Try planting pots<\/a> on the front porch or front stoop instead.<\/p>
Add a Tree<\/h3>

It\u2019s simple yet adds to your home\u2019s curb appeal. You can plant a large deciduous tree to grow for generations, or you could plant a fruit tree and reap the benefits.<\/p>
Trees also allow you to be creative with your design. A tree in your front yard is the first thing that people will see. Keeping it healthy and well pruned can heighten someone’s first impression and add to your experience as the homeowner.<\/p>
Mulch<\/h3>

It\u2019s a simple way to add shape and a clean look to your flower gardens while also providing health benefits to your soil. Not to mention the weed control that keeps you from pulling weeds every week.<\/p>
You can find mulch<\/a> in many different varieties (organic and inorganic) with different colors and textures that help to accentuate your garden design.<\/p>
Evergreens<\/h3>
![\"Evergreen](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/rsz_screen-shot-2020-10-12-at-84128-pm_1.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Pxhere<\/a> \/ CC0 1.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> Rather not be bothered with the maintenance of a flower bed, but still want the greenery? Try replacing annual flowers with evergreen shrubs. The evergreen<\/a> you choose should depend on location and personal preference. Your choices include narrowleaf or broadleaf, flowering or non-flowering, columnar or wide, and everything in between.<\/p>
- Boxwood shrubs<\/strong> are a must if you want to give your landscape design that classy look.
<\/li>- Mountain laurel<\/strong> is a beautiful spring flowering shrub that adds color to an otherwise green lawn.
<\/li>- Azaleas<\/strong> are related to rhododendrons. These are another great choice if you’re looking to add more color but don\u2019t want to rake more leaves in the fall. (Note: Azaleas come in deciduous and evergreen varieties, so check the plant tag before you buy.)
<\/li>- Winter heath<\/strong> works great as a dense ground cover or shrub option with wonderful winter colors. The form and flower color depend on the species.<\/li> <\/ul>
Retaining Walls<\/h3>

Retaining walls are an excellent way to control erosion and can help add some style to that hilly landscape. Not to mention the practicality of retaining walls<\/a> when it comes to boosting a home\u2019s curb appeal.<\/p>
Whether you add succulents, ground cover, annuals, or perennials, a retaining wall is a good landscape design option for sloped or erosion-prone areas.<\/p>
Lighting<\/h3>

Photo credit: BoL2017<\/a><\/span> \/ Needpix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure> Light up the new landscape with some outdoor lighting<\/a>. There are many available options of lighting that you can implement to make your house shine. <\/p>
Try out a variety of solar lights, string lights, and porch lights to see which works best to showcase your home\u2019s exterior.<\/p>
Water Features<\/h3>

Photo credit: FOX<\/a> \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure> Bird baths, fountains, waterfalls, and ponds are all eye-catching front yard features that can add that missing piece to your landscape. Water features<\/a> can grant serenity to your yard, or elegance depending on what your design idea looks like.<\/p>
Add a detailed fountain with some boxwoods for the classy, elegant look. Or if you want to attract more wildlife, consider adding a bird bath or a small pond.<\/p>
Backyard Landscaping Ideas<\/h2>
Patio<\/h3>
![\"backyard](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/outdoor-venue-e1599656245528-1.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Nyplanting<\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons \/ CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> Want to upgrade your backyard<\/a>, but don\u2019t know where to start? Patios are a perfect thing to add when you\u2019re just getting started. With a patio<\/a>, you can add lounge chairs, a dining table, or some potted plants to spruce up your backyard space.<\/p>
When it comes to materials and prices, you have options:<\/p>
- The average cost<\/a> to have a patio professionally installed is $3,994.
<\/li>- That price decreases slightly for concrete patios<\/a>, which cost on average $2,532.
<\/li>- For something more intricate such as a paver patio<\/a>, the average cost is $4,537.<\/li> <\/ul>
Fireplace<\/h3>
![\"backyard-fire-pit\"](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/backyard-fire-pit-1.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Robert<\/a> \/ Adobe Stock<\/figcaption><\/figure> For those cozy summer nights, where good company and marshmallows are on the agenda, a fireplace is what you need. You can add this onto your patio, or set up some chairs around your designated fire pit<\/a> for some campfire stories.<\/p>
While you can<\/em> have a fire pit in the front yard, the privacy that most backyards offer is better for the close-knit relationships formed around a fire pit.<\/p>
Pollinator Garden<\/h3>
![\"butterfly-on-flower\"](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/butterfly-on-flower-646x431-1.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Pixabay<\/a> \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure> Add some extra buzz and beauty to your backyard with a pollinator garden<\/a>. This involves incorporating many native plants and flowers that are pollinator-friendly into your yard. The front yard is for keeping things neat, but the backyard can be a bustling hub for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. <\/p>
Not sure where to start? Try planting some of these native plants<\/a> that pollinators love:<\/p>
- Snapdragons<\/li>
- Black-eyed susans<\/li>
- Coneflowers<\/li>
- Sunflowers<\/li> <\/ul>
Greenhouse<\/h3>
![\"Hand-made](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rsz_11587462145_37eb9a958e_c.jpg\")

Not only will a greenhouse<\/a> give your backyard some substance, but growing your own food can be cheaper and healthier for you and the environment.<\/p>
Pergola<\/h3>
![\"brown](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image-61-1.jpeg\")
Photo Credit: Pickpik<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> You\u2019ve got the patio, and you\u2019ve put in the fireplace. Now for a finishing touch, why not add a pergola? These outdoor structures are typically made of wood with rafters to create a space for outdoor relaxation. There are a lot of ways you can be creative with your pergola designs<\/a>.
These are just a few pergola material options<\/a> to choose from:
<\/p>- Wood<\/li>
- Vinyl<\/li>
- Aluminum<\/li>
- Steel<\/li>
- Fiberglass<\/li>
- Concrete<\/li> <\/ul>
Pergolas are perfect if you feel that something is missing in your backyard. You can create your pergola to match your design idea and fit your outdoor space.<\/p>
Shed<\/h3>
![\"Small](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rsz_garden-shed-931508_1280.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Manfred Antranias Zimmer<\/a> \/ Pixabay <\/figcaption><\/figure> Sheds can be a great balance between practicality and creativity in your backyard. On one hand, sheds can be used to store yard equipment and lawn ornaments that you don\u2019t have room for.<\/p>
You can also fully incorporate your shed to match the aesthetic of your lawn in any way you want, like making it a she-shed<\/a> or a he-shed for that extra bit of privacy and comfort.<\/p>
The average cost<\/a> to build a shed is $3,634. This price varies depending on how big and intricate you want your shed to be.<\/p>
Outdoor Kitchen<\/h3>
![\"outdoor](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shutterstock-outdoor-kitchen-1.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Pipas <\/a>Imagery<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> If you love outdoor cooking and spending time with the family around a grill, an outdoor kitchen might be something to consider adding to your backyard landscape design.<\/p>
The national average for an outdoor kitchen<\/a> set-up ranges from $5,057 to $17,276. This is the average, but if you want to go all-out with the best appliances, you might be looking closer to $40,750.<\/p>
Pool<\/h3>
![\"backyard](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/plunge-pool-1.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Taylor Simpson<\/a> \/ Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure> It\u2019s summertime, and the temperatures are rising. Time to think about putting in that pool you\u2019ve been saving for. Pools are a backyard dream and a perfect addition that you can put behind a fence, away from your neighbor’s prying eyes. The cost of a pool varies greatly depending on what kind you want:<\/p>
- In-ground pool prices<\/a> range from $32,408 to $60,873.
<\/li>- Above-ground pools cost<\/a> between $1,698 to $5,969.
<\/li>- Semi-inground pool<\/a> installation costs from $8,400 to $22,500.
<\/li>- A fiberglass pool<\/a> generally ranges from $24,333 to $70,000.
<\/li>- General pool service costs<\/a> around $1,432 every year.<\/li> <\/ul>
Goals of Front Yard Landscaping<\/h2>
A well-groomed front yard welcomes neighbors, guests, and potential homebuyers when you\u2019re looking to sell. Front yard landscaping is all about appearances. We\u2019re talking about curb appeal<\/a>.<\/p>
Curb Appeal<\/h3>
You\u2019re not like everyone else, so why should your home or front yard be? That\u2019s one goal of landscaping, making your property beautiful and unique. Most people don\u2019t have the privilege to see inside your home or the backyard, so the front should proclaim your individuality. If your front yard is neat and trimmed, people assume your home is just as well-kept.<\/p>
Your front lawn should dazzle passersby. But you need more than grass to grab attention. Consider planting a cornucopia of flowers and trees. Decorate the path to your front door with landscaping rocks. The walkway itself can be part of the landscaping. Rather than something similar to the sidewalk, have some decorative brick or flagstone.<\/p>
You may not hang out in the front yard, but your neighbors will enjoy the view, and you\u2019ll appreciate what a pristine yard does for your property value<\/a>.<\/p>
Welcome Guests<\/h3>
Another reason to invest more in front yard vs. backyard landscaping is for your guests. Many people work to make their home an inviting space, both for themselves as well as loved ones, so why should the first thing they see be any different?<\/p>
Many front yard landscaping ideas center around making it an inviting space, directing a visitor\u2019s attention to walking through the front door.<\/p>
Imagine a weaving path through lush garden beds, step beds with different ornamental grasses, and shrubs. A little stroll that offers your guests a sigh of tranquility before being welcomed into your home. It will lift your front yard from pretty to a work of art.<\/p>
Low Maintenance<\/h3>
Easy maintenance is essential when trying to sell your home. Most homebuyers don\u2019t want to spend hours taking care of a lawn or flowerbed. You can cut down on the number of chores by choosing native grasses<\/a>, plants, and trees.<\/p>
Imagine having a beautiful landscape just outside your front door that needs little management.<\/p>
Whether you\u2019re designing and installing the landscape yourself or hiring a contractor, a low-maintenance front yard is a major point to ponder when choosing plants and their placement in your front yard.<\/p>
Goals of Backyard Landscaping<\/h2>
The backyard is the main focus for most homeowners when it comes to landscaping. That\u2019s where you and your family entertain, have cookouts, and relax. It\u2019s where the kids and pets play, enjoying the fall breeze or summer sun. Your landscaping goals for the backyard are different from those for the front yard.<\/p>
Privacy<\/h3>
We may like our neighbors, but everyone needs a little alone time. Part of backyard landscaping is sharing that space with only those you invite. Many people immediately jump to fencing when they think of privacy, but there are many other landscaping options.<\/p>
You could plant tall, bushy trees, install living walls or hedges<\/a>, or use a trellis and weave vines through it. You could even place stepping beds that are high enough to use small shrubs for privacy. You\u2019re not obligated to create a yard-wide privacy fence<\/a>; perhaps there are just little areas of your yard (maybe a hot tub or patio) you\u2019d rather be secluded.<\/p>
Note: If you have a backyard pool, in-ground or above ground, fencing is a must! The rules vary from city to city,<\/a> so it\u2019s best to check building codes.<\/p>
Entertaining<\/h3>
The front yard may be inviting, but it\u2019s the backyard you\u2019re inviting guests to \u2014 assuming the weather is in your favor. It only makes sense to spend more of your landscaping dollars on entertainment spaces.<\/p>
Combining entertainment with privacy, you could have an outdoor living room surrounded by living walls. A pathway from the outdoor kitchen to a small pool. An outdoor kitchen could save you the trouble of having to run back inside during cookouts. An awning or pergola will provide shade and protection from the elements.<\/p>
The options are endless with the backyard because that\u2019s where you and your guests will spend time without worrying about the rest of the neighborhood.<\/p>
Aesthetics<\/h3>
Fewer people will see the backyard, but you still want the landscaping to be impressive. Native flowers and plants<\/a> need little water or care and will last longer than tropical plants. They will also attract beneficial insects to your yard rather than troublesome pests.<\/p>
Pro Tip:<\/strong> Plant marigolds and pest-repelling herbs<\/a>. They\u2019ll blend in with the landscape and keep the bugs away naturally.<\/p>
Break Away<\/h3>
Everyone needs a getaway and it would be rather difficult to find it in the front yard.<\/p>
With backyard landscaping, you can create secluded spaces that are geared toward alone time. Perhaps a single sofa or bench for reading, maybe a little fountain with a meditation space. Think of it as an adult treehouse, but not in a tree or for children. It\u2019s your little vacation spot.<\/p>
Mullet Landscaping<\/h2>
Front yard vs. backyard landscaping ideas center around what\u2019s most appropriate for the space. You wouldn\u2019t cook in your bathroom or sleep in your kitchen, right? Well, you wouldn\u2019t put an outdoor living room or a swimming pool in your front yard, nor would you design the center of your backyard around the back door.<\/p>
FAQ About Landscaping for Front and Backyards<\/h2>
What is the Cheapest Way to Landscape a Front Yard?<\/strong>A landscape project can be done well, look good, and keep cash in your pocket when you landscape with the right materials:
What is the Purpose of a Front Yard?<\/strong>The abstract role of a front yard in urban American neighborhoods<\/a> is to \u201cmeditate the space between the resident of the property and the visitor or neighbor. The collective practices create an image, and that image is what conveys the level of commitment to a place.\u201d<\/p> <\/div>
What is Considered the Backyard?<\/strong>When thinking about your backyard, think about the point of the yard behind your residential structure and before your property line. Some homes have limited space to work with, so it\u2019s worth maximizing the area in the side yards and front yard.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>
Leave Landscaping to the Pros<\/h2>
See what makes sense for your space and for your lifestyle. And if your grand plan is too much for you to tackle yourself, call a landscaping service near you<\/a> for advice or to make your front yard and backyard plans a reality.<\/p>
