Nice stand of grass.

There’s no way to help unless you give us a general geographic location. Alabama? Vancouver? Montana? Maine?

Do you need a sitting area where you can watch the kids play and visit with the neighbors?

Do you enjoy puttering around in the garden or do you prefer very low maintenance?

We can't give any advice without knowing zone, general location, sun/shade and whether you want to plant and forget it or love to garden.

I see a palm tree in the neighbors yard.

What is the pipe looking thing sticking up out of grass?

its a tap that supplies water to front yard

Im located in Australia and looking more for design (garden beds etc) rather than plant types

@HU-744457587 Your location explains the different irrigation hookups. Beautful home!

Love @Dig Doug's Designs - especially the first picture with strong structural element as centerpiece. Both layouts frame the house nicely & really highlight the square & strong shape of the home.
