No. 33 Front Yards & Driveways · Modern
Gravel Walkway Beside Weathered Steel Planter
A curved gravel walkway winds through a xeriscape front yard featuring drought-tolerant planting, limestone boulders, and a rusted steel raised bed filled with blue agave and prickly pear cactus.
Design notes
Modern design is about restraint: clean geometry, a tight material palette and details that disappear into the architecture. Look for long straight edges, large-format paving, flush transitions between inside and out, and planting kept architectural — hedges, grasses and one or two specimen trees.
What to look for
- The sequence from where the car stops to the front door
- Walkway width and the landing at the door
- Planting kept below the windows with a tree for scale
