1. Consider utilizing geometric shaped gardens in front. Triangle shaped garden beds work well to bring your vision into the house and the surrounding landscaping adding interest to the border of the front yard.
2. Make an entrance along your walkways and paths to your front door. That I’m home feeling doesn’t have to start only when you enter that door.

3. Consider going with Window Boxes in the front windows and plant a color of plant that will complements the color of your home.
4. Plant Coral Honeysuckle. This perennial plant has a long bloom time and is fragrant enough to perfume your whole garden. They also will grow around a trellis well and attract hummingbirds.
5. Make sure to consider maintenance requirements. You can choose from a very low maintenance design around your front entrance that includes Potato Vine or Green Sheen or higher maintenance more intricate designs with numerous plant varieties.
