Please help me with the design of my front yard flower-beds. I am kinda clueless with landscape design and I need to give the contractor the layout soon.

We are building a house and the contractor wants me to set up the outline of my flower beds. So that he can sod up to it and add garden soil to the beds. I don't have it in the budget to have it professionally landscaped, so I will be doing it myself shortly after we move in.

Heres a pic of the front of the house. I dont have a more recent one uploaded, but the front columns have been bricked and the top has had the banister installed. There will be a 5 foot wide concrete walkway from the front side walk to the house in the middle. And the front yard will have a little white picket fence.
