Front Yard Landscaping IdeasFor Your Porch, Yard and WalkwaysWe focus our front yard landscaping ideas around photos so you can see how others have landscaped their porches, walk ways, and yards. I'm a visual person, so home landscaping photos really give me something to work with. We've lived in many different parts of the country and know how difficult it can be to create just the right look around your porch and home. Whether you hire a landscaper or do-it-yourself, it's always nice to have a plan.
Do you like the breezy look of wildflowers or a more manicured look?
What landscaping style best fits your home's architecture? Use our photos to begin creating your own unique look.
The manicured lawn and fountain in the front house landscaping scene below gives this porch a more formal appeal. But the bench is inviting and softens the overall look. The brick walkway design also softens the look by meandering toward the porch steps. Interestingly, the plants aren't all manicured; another way to be a bit formal but relaxing as well. 
One of our favorite front yard landscaping ideas is to dress up your mailbox. We have a few decorative mailbox ideas for you to see.

This front house landscaping combines natural landscaping materials to create a unique walkway. Stone, split rail fencing, branch backed chair, and the right plants form a cohesive natural appeal as you approach the front porch. I like how the fencing was used to create separate flower beds along the walkway and the colors blend together nicely. 
Color: Nothing beats color for the perfect front yard landscaping around your porch. A pleasant mix of colorful perennials that bloom throughout the spring, summer and fall almost always creates a curb appealing look. Because this porch sits higher from the ground larger shrubs were chosen to frame the porch steps. A nice choice of plants with varying heights creates a welcoming floral arrangement. Notice how the floral colors complement the porch colors. 
Does this picture evoke thoughts of spring?This is one of our most favorite pictures on our website. The gorgeous red tulips and wonderfully spacious porch make for a homeowner's dream. Tulips are beautiful bulbs to have planted near your porch for a showy splash of color in the springtime.
Azaleas are showy, glorious plants for springtimeOne way to think of your landscaping is to feature showy plants throughout the seasons. These azaleas certainly capture exactly what we mean - showy beauty!
A vibrant mix of colors in spring always creates instant curb appeal like in the photo below. Flowering trees, tulips, daffodils, crocuses, pansies or forsythia can be used quite easily to make any porch stand out.

Avoid Straight LinesTry to avoid straight lines. Curved planting beds like that shown below and curved walkways almost always makes things more interesting. Use a garden hose or small diameter PVC to help outline your beds. They are easy to move around in order to get the perfect shape.
