Landscape advice for new construction

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

I’m looking for ideas for landscaping out new home in Louisville, KY (Zone 6). The house faces North (back yard South) but the front gets a good deal of sun from late spring to fall as there are no trees or houses blocking the sun when its high.

There’s not much space between houses so I just need to focus on the front yard. There is a mandoor around the corner of the garage with a short walkway but there is a patch of earth there for something small to grow to soften that corner.

We are required to put in 2 trees so I was thinking 2 Maples by the street (so they dont shade the house) and maybe a Dogwood near the house. Eventually we’ll put in a shade tree in the back by the South-west corner to shade the afternoon sun but for now, we we’re just doing the front.

We like a Purple/which/green color scheme and like Limelight hydrangeas and boxwoods. Do not like reds, oranges, or yellows (except in fall). Sketches would be very much appreciated!
