About front yard design
What makes a great front yard.
The front yard is the landscape everyone sees and the one that sets a house's value. These designs cover the whole approach: driveways in pavers, gravel and concrete, walkways and steps to the door, entry courtyards, carports and the planting that frames it all.
Look at the sequence from street to door — where the car stops, how the path reads, what you see from the porch. Save the approaches that match your house's style and the way you actually arrive home.

Common questions
What driveway material looks best?
Pavers and exposed-aggregate concrete age best and suit most houses; gravel with a steel edge is the cheapest good-looking option. Plain broom-finish concrete is fine if the edges are planted.
How wide should a front walkway be?
Four feet minimum so two people can walk together, wider near the door. Curve it only if there is a reason — a tree, a bed — otherwise keep it straight.
What adds the most curb appeal?
A clear path to the door, a tree or two for scale, layered foundation planting kept below the windows, and lighting for the evening. Paint and a new door come next.
