Front garden design pictures and examples of inviting entrance areas

The front yard poses a great challenge to all hobby gardeners. On the one hand, its direction is rather unfavorable – the builders prefer a sunny, south-facing inner courtyard, which is why most of the entrance areas are north-facing. That means – the front yard is in the shade almost all day long and is exposed to strong winds in spring and autumn. Even more so – plants and flowers have to divide the scarce plot of land in front of the house with a garden path and driveway. That makes the task even more difficult – but with a little creativity and good planning, the front yard can be transformed into a green oasis. As proof, we will show you 15 successful ones Front yard design pictures and examples. / Pictured above – a project by Secretgardens /

Front garden design pictures and examples – flowerbeds give structure to the garden

If the front garden is not only in the shade, but is also on a hill, then there is only one thing left – to give the garden a structured look with raised beds. Partly shaded plants, low groups of bushes, terraced shrubs and low conifers / shown here – cypresses / are the right choice. A concrete staircase adds the concept of the Japanese garden.

Front garden design pictures and examples – create a dream garden on the slope

The front garden on the slope is modern, easy to care for and practical. The terraced perennials, groups of bushes and deciduous trees attract attention. Desert plants add an exotic touch and bring variety. The builders have deliberately avoided flowers – because the beautiful green vegetation brings out the modern architecture better. And if the garden design is so successful, then it must be possible to admire it. A comfortable seating area makes it possible. Secretgardens project.

Front yard design pictures and examples – plants can replace wooden fence?

Tall perennial plants can successfully replace the garden fence. In any case, you have to be careful with bamboo, especially if your own property is close to neighboring houses. Instead, tall grass and medium-high groups of bushes can do the job and screen the first floor from prying eyes. Secretgardens project.
