Lewis Center Ohio
Front Yard Landscaping
Around Your Front Porch
Lewis Center Ohio is a shopping and buiness mecca.
But you might be pleasantly suprised at the small front porch
designs and front yard landscaping we discovered.
Located on the outskirts of Columbus Ohio, Lewis Center is a bustling community with
Alum Creek State Park just down the road. I used to compete in duathlons on Alum's
roads and trails and knew we had to explore its neighborhoods - full of eye-catching
front porches.
Not only were the Lewis Center Ohio front porch designs rather unique but also the front yard landscaping configurations.
We'll show you similar porch designs with different landscaping so you can see how subtle
changes affect the overall look.
Variations On A Theme
Let's start with the same front porch design and change the color and landscaping - see the results!
This landscaping requires regular maintenance but is interesting and gives some privacy from
the street.
Same porch design but this has a more formal appeal. Keeping the landscaping low makes the
porch appear more stately.
What is your first impression? I think this works because of the more natural wood look
on the gable.
A little bit country. Although the porch design isn't necessarily country the amenities and
landscaping create the overall look.
All dressed in white. The weather vane and bird bath add interest and of course we love the rocking chairs!
Mary and I like what we call "soft landscaping". This front porch is an excellent example of using
broad leaf plants in lieu of evergreens or other more substantial foliage.
Lewis Center Ohio porches use landscaping to create a little privacy. The small bench is a nice place to relax with a
morning cup of coffee and is somewhat shielded by the plantings. I like the continuous concrete
edging. It would have more appeal if it were kept level across the yard instead of following
the slope.
Although not landscaped we wanted to show you a variation of porch walkway ideas. This is not
only creative it aesthetically adds more expanse to the porch, it also
makes the front of the home more interesting.
This is an easy way to add more space to your porch; be sure to see our patio ideas section for
ways to increase the size of a small porch.
It is easy to extend a small porch for added outdoor space. In the photo below, a patio area
was created adjacent to the existing porch. As an added bonus, a functional and beautiful awning
creates much needed shade.
