No. 27 Front Yards & Driveways · Modern

Slate Paver Walkway to Modern Entry

A gray slate walkway leads to a dark wood front door at the sheltered entry, bordered by low foundation planting of ornamental grasses, agaves, and manicured shrubs set in dark mulch.

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
