Grey Sided Bungalow with deep veranda

by Kath
(Canada)

We are having built a 1600 sq. ft. gray sided bungalow that has an attached double car garage with a paved driveway on a 72 ft. by 155 ft. lot in Muskoka Ontario.The house has 5 steps up leading to a deep front porch that covers 3/4 of the front of the house and has white railings. The trim is white, 2 large white pillars framing the black front door,which is in the centre of the house.

I would like low maintenance flowering bushes and perennials. What would you suggest that would look nice for a home that faces south? The front yard is about 20 ft. in length by 45 ft. across.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
