Create a restful area to sit and watch the world go by... simple stonework and design creates great 'bones' for this Great Front Entrance. Low maintenance gardens create a wonderful buffer between the house and the streetscape.

Backyard Landscaping
This is an example of a large southwestern drought-tolerant and full sun backyard stone landscaping in Phoenix for summer.

By adding a small retainging wall to the side of this home, and extending it to a sort of, front patio, a quaint, lush, front space is created.

Location: Hingham, MA, USA This newly constructed home in Hingham, MA was designed to openly embrace the seashore landscape surrounding it. The front entrance has a relaxed elegance with a classic plant theme of boxwood, hydrangea and grasses. The back opens to beautiful views of the harbor, with a terraced patio running the length of the house. The infinity pool blends seamlessly with the water landscape and splashes over the wall into the weir below. Planting beds break up the expanse of paving and soften the outdoor living spaces. The sculpture, made by a personal friend of the family, creates a stunning focal point with the open sky and sea behind. One side of the property was densely planted with large Spruce, Juniper and Birch on top of a 7' berm to provide instant privacy. Hokonechloa grass weaves its way around Annabelle Hydrangeas and Flower Carpet Roses. The other side had an existing stone stairway which was enhanced with a grove of Birch, hydrangea and Hakone grass. The Limelight Tree Hydrangeas and Boxwood offer a fresh welcome, while the Miscanthus grasses add a casual touch. The Stone wall and patio create a resting spot between rounds of tennis. The granite steps in the lawn allow for a comfortable transition up a steeper slope.

A rolling mound in the center of a U-shaped drive de-emphasizes the expanse of concrete and buffers the view from the street.

Frasier Meadows is home to a very active retirement community in Boulder, Colorado. The front yard area comes alive in late spring and early summer with a carpet of aromatic wooly thyme in full bloom.

Classic front porch idea in Atlanta with decking and a roof extension

A very unique entry garden includes a 2-sided freestanding fieldstone wall. The wall has a curve in it which makes a nice place to tuck the natural stone bench in.
