A dynamic and visually appealing front yard boosts your property’s curb appeal and makes for an inviting entrance to the rest of your home. Your yard is people’s first impression of your space and frames their perspective when they view the rest of your property. By taking care of your space, you will not only make your neighbours green with envy, but boost your property value, too!
Invest in Plants
Plants are one of the most important elements to creating a beautiful outdoor space. Opt for a variety of different plants, such as flowers, bushes, and ground cover plants. Perennial plants are an easy way to make sure your garden looks well taken care of throughout the year. A perennial is a plant that comes back year after year without replanting. This makes them an easy solution for those who are seeking a low-maintenance garden.
Make sure to include plenty of green shrubs in your garden that are capable of withstanding harsher conditions. With cold winter climates, it’s important to introduce plants that are native to the area and therefore less affected by the weather. If you’re looking to add a pleasant fragrance to your garden, consider planting some herbs. Popular varieties include mint, rosemary, and lavender.
Regular Maintenance
There’s no point to having a beautiful outdoor space if you aren’t going to take care of it. Keeping up with regular yard maintenance is an important part of a well put-together appearance.
Tasks you should regularly complete in your yard include:
- mowing the lawn
- raking leaves
- trimming shrubs
- pulling weeds
- sharpening edges
In the summer months, this means keeping the lawn freshly cut to prevent the odd dandelion from popping up. During the fall, make sure to rake leaves as they accumulate on your lawn. With regular maintenance, taking care of your garden is much easier and doesn’t become an overwhelming task.
Install a Fence
Installing a fence creates structure to your outside space and shows that it’s well taken care of. There are a variety of fencing materials and types that each provide a distinct appeal to your space. Vinyl fences are a great, low maintenance option for your front and back yard. They are easy to clean and come in a variety of shades and colours, so there’s sure to be an option that suits your home’s colour scheme. Vinyl fences are also able to withstand various weather conditions because they are more flexible when compared to other materials, such as metal and wood.
Some vinyl fencing options include:
- classic full-privacy PVC fence
- semi-privacy fence with diagonal lattice
- semi-privacy fence with square lattice
- classic picket PVC fence
- classic picket scalloped fence
Create a Feature Area
Another way to create an inviting yard space is by constructing a feature area. Some people will have stepping stones that lead to a sitting area, while others will install a pond or water feature. By creating a focal point in your garden, the rest of your landscaping serves the purpose of framing this highlight, making it easier to implement and design.
