What do you do if you have a front yard that doesn’t need a complete rehab? You create a landscape design plan that keeps some of the existing landscaping and incorporates some new landscaping saving you time and money.
Design #1: St. Louis Hills, MO
First, we have a house in St. Louis, MO where the landscaping needs a little help.
- PROBLEM: The beds are spilling out onto the walkway and most of the plants are old and need replacing.
- SOLUTION: Keep the pink azalea and hydrangea bushes and rework the rest. Install a small retaining wall to hold in the landscaping, create a small landscaped bed along the sidewalk to create depth, and bring some evergreen interest in (the boxwoods) for some winter interest. *Check out the YouTube video for the detailed analysis
- Landscape Design: Now, this home has gone from desolate and bland to having some serious curb appeal.
Design #2: Orlando, FL
Next, we head to Orlando, FL for another front yard landscaping renovation.
- PROBLEM: The large palm tree in the middle of the windows blocks the home.
- SOLUTION: Create some interest with color and bushes that allow you to see the home.
- Landscape Design: Now, this home is much more pleasing to look at and has a fresh and youthful landscaping vibe.
Design #3: Orlando, FL
Finally, we are staying in Orlando, FL where this home’s landscaping needs a makeover.
- PROBLEM: There is too much green and not enough color.
- SOLUTION: Keep the existing beds and freshen them up with some updated landscaping that brings color, height, and texture.
- Landscape Design: Now, this home has much more curb appeal and has plenty of room for future perennials and annuals to add even more color.
