The front yard is curb appeal. It is also the first thing you see arriving home, every day. A well-designed front yard does both jobs without becoming a high-maintenance burden.

Lead the eye from the street to the front door with a clear path and balanced planting on either side. Evergreen structure (boxwood, low hedges, conifers) reads from the kerb; flowering plants and grasses add seasonal interest. Avoid foundation plantings that grow over the windows in five years, check mature size on every label. A single specimen tree placed off-centre lifts the whole composition.

Front Yard garden design — frequently asked questions

How do I start designing a front yard?

Lead the eye from the street to the front door with a clear path and balanced planting on either side. Evergreen structure (boxwood, low hedges, conifers) reads from the kerb; flowering plants and grasses add seasonal interest. Avoid foundation plantings that grow over the windows in five years, check mature size on every label. A single specimen tree placed off-centre lifts the whole composition.

What is the best garden style for a front yard?

Every major garden style works in a front yard — the right one depends on your house, your climate, and how you want to use the space. The "Front Yard design by style" section above shows the 14 styles represented in this gallery so you can see each one applied to a front yard before committing.

How much does a front yard redesign cost?

Front Yard redesigns vary from $3,000–$10,000 for refresh-level projects (new planting, furniture, lighting), $15,000–$40,000 for full mid-range builds including hardscape and structural work, and $50,000+ for premium builds with custom features. Use AI Garden Design to preview the look before spending a cent.

Can I get an AI redesign of my own front yard?

Yes. Upload a photo of your current front yard, pick a target style, and AI Garden Design returns a photorealistic redesign in under two minutes that keeps your structural elements and reimagines the rest.
