Front Yard Landscape Photos

Sometimes front yard photos can give you ideas for your own landscape. This is a very important area to have some colorful trees, shrubs, and flowers. When someone drives by your home one of the first things they will notice is your landscaping and lawn. The houses below represent their own unique style and personality. Much of the landscape has been in for at least five or more years.

The first two houses are in the same subdivision. They are similar in the styles of landscape, but different shrubs in each front yard. The first house has a fountain on the right hand side to add some character around the foundation. Notice in the second house how an entrance was created with a Crepe Myrtle on each side. This is a great curb side appeal. The builder and owner opted to put a straight side walk from the street up to the front of the house. This is a great setting to do two small trees or tall shrubs on either side of the walkway. Both of these houses have low growing shrubs along the foundation.

The next two photos are of the same house. I like this style not only are there shrubs planted along the foundation, look at the vibrant Crepe Myrtle positioned in the front between two windows. The tree is far enough away from the foundation, and the owners keep it pruned. Feburary is the best time to prune Crepe Myrtles. There are multi garden beds throughout the front yard. Each bed is unique and adds a variety of color and texture with the shrubs and flowers. Notice the tree bordered by some decorative flat stones.

This house has a defined bed in the yard. The big rock is the focal point with attractive flowers in front of the rock. The shrubs are neatly pruned. This bed gives the property a formal look. The owners wanted a definite neat and tidy look and they keep the shrubs pruned throughout the year.

These next two pictures are also of the same house. The entire property is very well groomed. The front of the house is tailored with well defined shrubs and also strategically placed statues and topiary bushes. The first picture is the left hand side. Notice the tree in the the yard area with ground cover around it.

The right side shows the eloquent entrance way to the front steps. Pruned shrubs line along the foundation and create the look of the English style garden. In the garden project section, there is a page on a formal garden and and informal garden that may give you some ideas.

The next two photos are still the same house that is above. The owners continued the theme throughout the entire yard. I wanted to show you a formal garden bed on the left hand side of the yard. The shrubs are trimmed in a hedge form. Inside each bed are two decorative topiary bushes along with a elegant black bird bath.

The right hand side bed is a woodsy style of a small English garden. The planter along with the iron bench creates an atmosphere of an older time. The barkless trees are tree form Crepe Myrtles. The woman of the house did most of the planning and work on these beautiful gardens.

The two photos here show a couple of different angles of the foundation area from one house. Colorful flowers accent the evergreen shrubs. I like the window box on the porch. There are also two decorative planters placed on either side of the base of the porch steps.

The second picture is of a bed near the walkway. Different evergreen shrubs, Elephant Ears, and colorful flowers make up this colorful bed. Start with some colorful photos of perennial flowers for any style front garden. There are also pictures of trees, shrubs, herbs, annual flowers, and other garden ideas. Any of these trees, shrubs, or flowers can be used to create a wonderful view from the street and out your windows.

The final two photos are of the same house above but two different areas along near the driveway. The first one is a full size bed with a variety of different plant species. The trees are engulfed by full size shrubbery and delicious tones of flowers. The bed is made complete with a border of variegated Liriope.

The second picture is across from this bed on the other side of the driveway. This little garden is more sprawled out and has a very natural look. It gives the yard a open feel compared to the other full beds. Many different style beds are incorporated into a front yard setting. Take a look at this colored theme garden idea for along a foundation. Green And White Plants Along the Foundation Create A Soft Look For Your Home. This is just one option for you to think about.
