Front yard ideas by style
Modern front yard ideas
A wide, straight route to the door, clean-edged beds and planting in blocks. A modern front yard makes even a plain house look sharp.
Cottage front yard ideas
A path between flower borders, roses by the door and a gate. A cottage front yard is welcoming, and it gives a lot of curb appeal for the space.
Drought-tolerant front yard ideas
No lawn to water or mow, and still a front yard that looks designed. See gravel, boulders and water-wise planting on your own house.
Native plant front yard ideas
Grasses and flowers that bees and butterflies use, with less mowing and watering. See a native front yard on your own house before you dig.
Where to start
Ideas to try first
Most front yard projects come down to three things: a clear route to the door, planting that frames the house instead of hiding it, and light for the evening. A new door color or house numbers can carry a lot of the change on their own.
Take your photo from the street, standing back far enough to get the whole house in. Kasaro keeps the house, windows and rooflines where they are and changes the yard around them.
