What is the best landscaping in front of a house?
To create an amazing front yard, plan a design that combines different colors, textures, shapes and sizes. Planting beds with a variety of flowers, shrubs and trees can achieve this, but also consider elements like planters, mulch, a stepping stone walkway and even a small statue or fountain. Flower beds and garden beds are classic and affordable options to add color and texture. Planting perennial plants is a budget-friendly option that reduces the need for frequent replanting. If space is limited, window boxes and small garden setups work well for front yard beds or the front of the house.
What flowers look good in front of a house?
Sun-loving daylilies add cheerful color to your home when they’re grown in masses. These tough perennials are a great idea for flower beds in the front yard; they’ll tolerate heat, drought and many pests and diseases. Grow early, mid- and late-season varieties, and you’ll have a show that lasts for weeks. Sun loving coleus and bronze leafed wax begonias may work. Just keep the soil moist. Purple Heart (Setcreasea purpurea), pentas, and four o’clocks are other annuals to consider. For perennials try dwarf Mexican petunia (Ruellia), lilyturf, daylilies, and speedwell (Veronica).
