5 Simple Ideas for the Front of Your House

The front of your house is so important! It tells people what to expect once they get inside. It lets your neighbors, those driving by, and the world that you take pride in your home. It tells everyone that you’d done well for yourself. It’s not just about them; it also should give you a sense of joy when you come home and see it. “That’s my home!” you tell yourself and instant comfort and relaxation sets in.

With this in mind, what is the front of your house telling the world? Do you love what you see when you turn onto your street and see your home? If you’re not sure or don’t like the answer, it’s okay! Just a few small things will make a huge difference! Consider incorporating one, two, or several of these simple ideas:

#1 Add rock features

Rocks instantly take your landscaping up a notch. Even if you use a different material for the flower beds, adding stones to break up the profile or create a border is perfect for an understated natural accent. An added benefit is that rocks will keep the area from getting too muddy.

#2 Upgrade your flower bed borders

By upgrading or refreshing the border on your flower beds, you’ll enjoy a whole new look without needing to replace the plants and features already in place. Pavers are the way to go! They instantly create a good-looking border.

#3 Plant perennials

It’s time to add a splash of color! Plant perennial shrubs like Azaleas or Hydrangeas. They will grow gorgeous new flowers year after year. As they bloom, they will add color to the front of your house you absolutely adore. This isn’t something to do on your own, though. Land Pro Landscaping knows exactly how to plant them with enough space, when to prune them, and how to trim the bushes to prevent unwieldy growth.

#4 Don’t forget your mailbox!

If your mailbox is directly in front of your home, you can plant some Creeping Jasmine or annual flowers around it. Make a simple border and a little bit of mulch or stones. It is a fantastic way to add color and personality to the end of your driveway.

#5 Improve your grass

All the flowers in the world won’t distract from dead or dying grass. We can come to aerate, mow, and nourish your lawn. A fuller, healthier looking lawn goes a long way!
