The front yard looks okay, but there is nothing spectacular about the grounds. Since the homeowner has recently paid off several debts, there is some money to spend on updating the Front Lawn Landscaping. Here are some ideas on how to increase the curb appeal and still keep the cost within reason.
New Ground Cover
There is nothing wrong with the lawn, but it does not provide the smooth and even look the homeowner would like. One way to update the Front Lawn Landscaping is to invest in a different kind of ground cover. Consider what a difference it would make to change from rye grass to Kentucky blue grass. Just as changing the carpet style in a living room alters the look of the space replacing the old grass with something different will change the look of the front lawn.
Adding an Island
There are already flower beds along the side of the house, but nothing is happening in the yard. Consider the idea of plantings some type of decorative tree and surrounding it with an island. That island can include a mixture of green plans, flowering plants and, possibly, marble or another natural element as a decorative base for the plants. Use colorful pavers to create a border for the island and the lawn suddenly as a new focal point.
Including a Paved Path
The same pavers used for the island border can also be employed to create paved paths that lead from the driveway to the front door. Consider adding another path that runs along the flower beds located next to the house. With the right size, shape, and color, those pavers will add more visual interest and create a great way to walk in the yard without getting the feet wet after a morning rain.
