Front Yard Landscaping
For Visual Appeal And
Low Maintenance

Front yard landscaping is one way in which you can achieve a low maintenance front yard, an important issue for many people with a busy lifestyle. If you are a hands on type of person than with some careful planning you could do it yourself, or you could call in professional landscapers in your area.

Either way you can have a landscaped front yard that will take minimal work to keep looking fantastic all year round.

If you are going to get a professional in to do your landscaping for you though, be sure to tell him that this is your overall goal, and that you want to have a yard that will not take a lot of work to keep up.

Having less grass in your front yard means you will cut out a lot of maintenance work right there. Mowing the lawn can take up a lot of time and energy, so keeping the grass down to a minimum is a great way to save on work.

Everyone would like to create a “wow” inspiring first impression and today’s knowledgeable home owners are looking for specialist advice and concepts that go over and above the conventional lawn and foundation plantings.

The New Front Yard Idea Book provides the best design information and facts from industry experts to inspire house owners everywhere.

Lushly illustrated with 325 4-color photographs, no other book focuses on this essential public area. It is simply packed with inspiration for all the front-yard areas, including the entrance, porches and porticos, gardens and arbors, paths and driveways, fences and gates, landscaping and lighting. This book is an invaluable reference for home owners who want to enhance their front yard.

Clover Grass...

Many people choose to use clover instead of grass. Using a clover lawn in your landscaping design is a good idea because it will save you money and time.

You will not have to mow it very often at all, and a clover lawn is even good for landscaping an area that is prone to droughts. They do well virtually everywhere, and best of all for those who want to get out there and enjoy their front yard, bugs hate clover.

Watering Your Yard...

Watering the yard can be time consuming, that is why many people incorporate automatic irrigation systems into their landscaping designs. This is one of the easiest ways for you to keep your yard looking healthy and well watered during the hotter months of the year.

No more hooking up the sprinkler or having to drag out the hose. You can get a professional to install one of these systems for your front yard quickly and easily, or you can get an irrigation kit and do it yourself.

However, if you intend installing one I would recommend getting in a professional unless you have experience with this kind of thing.

If you were to cause a leak then you could face some flooding and rotting, and neither of these is going to do anything for your front yard landscaping.
