Curb Appeal
Once you have the necessary landscaping completed, start thinking what you can do to make your front yard special. The front yard is so important to the value and look of your home. Begin by thinking how you get from the driveway to the front door. This is your chance to think about a brick walk, a small place to sit, perhaps even a wall if there is an elevation change. Paths can lead to pergolas, sitting areas, plants and flower pots. The front yard is also a great place for night lighting. All of these landscape elements can accent the front of your house.
