Your front landscape is one of the most important features for creating a good first impression of your home. Not only does a front yard landscape improve the curb appeal of your home, but it also increases the resale value of your property. Some even argue that the front landscape is more important than the back landscape because it needs to be functional, safe, and beautiful. Here are the top 7 elements of a front yard landscape design:
1. Front walkway
The path leading from your driveway or sidewalk to your front door needs to be inviting, scaled appropriately to your home, and visually appealing.
A front walkway needs to be safe for people coming and going from your home. It also needs to be accommodating to people of different abilities
2. Interlock driveway detail or full interlocking stone driveway
Tie in the design elements of your front walkway with interlock driveway details.

3. Porch Overlay
Most homes have a concrete porch or stairs at their front door. We can cover up the builder’s concrete slab with stone tiles that seamlessly blend into your interlock pavers.
4. Seat Walls & Columns
Seat walls and columns are a modern way to add structural features
5. Gardens
Gardens are a great way to break up the ‘hardscapes’ elements of your landscape design. They are an important element to add colour, texture, privacy, and depth to your front yard. Front yard gardens typically include a combination of retaining walls or ground-level gardens with annual and perennial plants. Small hedges are another common garden feature for front yard landscapes.
6. Front Yard Seating Area
Seating areas do not need to be restricted to the backyard. Adding a seating area in the front creates extra outdoor living space. Creating a seating area with different sun exposure, than your backyard, allows you to enjoy more sunlight.
7. Natural Stone Accents
Armour stones, natural stone steps, and river rock are a great design element that can elevate the look and feel of your front landscape.
