Front yard gardens offer vast opportunities for the development of first impressions – the ones that affect how passersby and visitors perceive the property and even homeowners themselves. What does yours say about you? Does it reflect the landscape design style and image you wish to portray?

Are you interested in creating a breathtaking front yard garden for your Tri-State New Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware area home landscape? Then consider a few landscape design pointers to get you moving in the right direction.

• Determine your style – Gardens typically reflect the architectural style of the residence itself, so determining your house style is the best place to start. If it is characterized by strong, geometric lines, then a formal landscape will complement the house well. If, however, your house sprawls a bit more informally, then the cottage garden would be your ideal choice.
• Plan for year-round color – By carefully selecting plant varieties that bloom at different times and placing them at strategic points around the yard, you can achieve an almost continuous flow of all-season color and interest in your Tri-State New Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware area home landscape.
• Choose attractive boundaries – The integration of appealing fences, flower garden borders and hardscapes such as stone walls lends an aura of orderliness and finesse. Landscape screening for privacy offers added opportunity to arrange evergreen borders or construct a wood or vinyl fence as a garden backdrop.
• Draw the eye to a focal point – Using garden features to draw the gaze toward the entryway is a common technique employed in professional landscaping, as well as the incorporation of a focal point for added depth and interest.

Your front yard garden can be a masterpiece that complements both your house style and personal tastes.
