No. 7 Front Yards & Driveways · Modern Farmhouse
Stone Walkway to Covered Front Entry
A flagstone walkway bordered by ornamental grasses and foundation planting leads past a gravel driveway toward the covered entry and black front door.
Design notes
Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
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
