Take closer pics please? Thank you!

Here is closer. Just wish the sun cooperated.

Doesn't look like there's much gap between the sidewalk and the porch, so I'd just do some low flowering plants there. Then I'd do a nice swoop of garden bed from the right side of the walkway down to the drive. Maybe a shrub or ornamental tree near what look like utility outlets. Will see if I can mock something up, but landscaping isn't my best artistic outlet! :) You'll also want some shrubs and plants over by the zone with the white siding on the right, to cover the foundation (or gap -- can't tell for sure).

This is assuming you don't want something more ambitious, like hardscape + succulents or whatever modern layout. Something simpler.

Here are some suggestions:

The covered porch is begging for some hanging planters with colorful annuals.

I'd do that in addition to Doug's suggestions above.

Are there lights? The front door would be nice with 2 large fixtures on each side.

I agree with the landscaping. Get something on those gravel beds and then what Doug was suggesting. It will be wonderful!

We have a low front porch and our garden center designer suggested dwarf evergreens. We have them in the front and they give a nice, warm look. They do grow, and need to be trimmed every now and then, but the original owner had really tall plants that obscured the view.

You should ask if the local garden center does designs for free if you buy your plants from them. They know what will thrive best. And they can add colorful bushes as well.

Wow, thank you everyone. Doug, I LOVE what you came up with. I live in Minnesota. Those plants look like they would do well in my cold climate. Also, we have a well pump that is in the front yard (the previous owners used a fake rock to hide it and I am still using it). I prefer this look than the fake rock. Thank you.

Now is the time to visit your area garden centers for price reductions. And it's the best time to plant as plants go dormant. Part of your choice could be impacted by what kind of traffic goes by your home. You've built a nice outdoor space. Would it help to block traffic view? If so, a berm curved a couple feet high can provide a 6-8' wide planting bed for evergreens and ground cover to add a sense of privacy for using your porch.

Using a berm planting option closer to the road allows you to plant the area close to the walkway and porch more for your own enjoyment.
