If you want to enhance the curb appeal and improve the aesthetic of your home, then you need a well designed front yard. It doesn’t have to be expensive to do this because you can choose from the simplest of designs to make your landscaping in your front yard pop.
There are elegant landscaping options and there are lush and vibrant options, and all serve to make your front yard look great. At Maccas Earthworks and Property Services, we specialise in creating outdoor spaces that reflect your personality while enhancing the beauty of your home. We’ve got 5 front yard landscaping ideas purely to inspire you to do more with your front yard. Let’s dive in below.
Native garden Oasis
Native plants are well suited to the climate in Australia as they require minimal watering and maintenance once they’ve become established. If you’re looking for a low maintenance front yard, then a native garden Oasis is exactly what you need.
You can incorporate a whole range of native flowers to your state with the right grasses and shrubs that add colour and texture to the space. If you include a winding path with stepping stones, you gain that charming touch. Pop a bench or a seating area in there as well to enjoy your new garden Oasis.
Modern and minimalist designs
If you’re not feeling a garden Oasis, you can have a sleek and contemporary look with a modern and more minimalist design for your landscaping with clean lines and geometric shapes. You can add plants with simple, elegant foliage to really incorporate that simple look.
Adding architectural features such as large plant pots or even sculptures can add interest, and you can use a neutral colour palette to really bring the look together.
Old world charm
If you’ve ever gone through the countryside and spotted cottages with beautifully overgrown gardens, this is the aesthetic you should be looking for. You can bring a touch of old world charm right to your front yard by planting a mix of traditional cottage garden favourites like lavender, daisies and roses.
For that whimsical, romantic feel. If you want to go full cottage garden, add a picket fence or a border of hedging plants. That would help to define the space and include a huge range of colours and textures.
Be water wise
If you’re living in an area of Australia where drought is a problem, then you need a drought tolerant landscaping helping hand. You want a front yard that still looks lush and inviting, but think about a desert landscape with cactus, succulents and other drought tolerant plants.
You can still create a striking and low maintenance garden. Add rocks and gravel for that texture and interest. It’s good for the environment and it also requires minimal maintenance.
Make it edible
With a mix of fruit trees, vegetable beds and herbs, you can make your brand new front yard edible. It will be beautiful and productive as a garden space and you’ll be able to feed your family without having to schlep to the supermarkets every single time.
It will look and smell fantastic and you can add raised beds or containers for easy maintenance.
