Your front yard is one of the first places visitors, delivery people, and neighbors see when visiting your home. A professionally designed and landscaped garden can quickly increase curb appeal while simultaneously adding value.
Flowers can add an easy and affordable splash of color. Consider low maintenance blooms like hydrangeas, daylilies or lavender that offer bright hues while remaining easy on your wallet.
Plants
An inviting front garden leaves an impressionful first impression with visitors, delivery people and neighbors alike. From welcoming porches and welcoming entry gates to simple pathways leading from them – front gardens play an essential role when it comes to increasing curb appeal of any home.
Landscape design should add beauty all year-round, not only during blooming season. Even during the coldest winter, well-designed gardens can give an added dash of curb appeal.
When designing a small front yard, repetition (using midsize shrubs lined up along a walkway or in rows) and colors that match your house to create an eye-catching effect. A white house might look beautiful when set against dark green lawn and colorful perennials and shrubs such as evergreens to frame walkways, border driveways or flank gates; evergreens also create the perfect background for other elements like urns or spinners!
Fences
Installing a fence in your backyard is an effective way to enhance its curb appeal, bring life to your garden and protect both people and animals – not to mention adding value to your property!
The best fences are tailored to blend seamlessly into your home’s exterior, reflecting both your personal style and that of its inhabitants. Decorate using planters, colorful flowers or flags for added visual interest in your backyard.
While most homeowners focus on increasing curb appeal with the front yard, creating an impressive backyard can also be just as eye-catching. Achieve an inviting setting can make the back of your house the ideal spot for hosting or relaxing guests.
Hardware
Add the right pieces of outdoor decor to your front yard to elevate its aesthetic appeal and increase curb appeal. Ornaments like lawn statuary and wind chimes can play an essential part in this regard, with simple yet attractive and low maintenance decorations like wreaths on front doors being an easy way to instantly brighten up an otherwise dull area and draw attention towards an entryway.
If your yard looks outdated, a simple way to improve its appearance is to clear away aging shrubs and plant new flower beds. Line your walkway with blooms for an eye-catching first impression; modernists should select similar hues while English garden enthusiasts should select blooms with mixed textures for an authentic English garden atmosphere.
Pressure washing your walkway, steps, porch, deck and driveway is another cost-effective way to boost curb appeal and create an eye-catching yard. Pressure washing helps create an inviting ambiance while simultaneously eliminating dirt and mildew that has built up over time.
Lighting
Central Florida landscaping is breathtaking by day, but even more so after dark with professional lighting. Accentuating large trees, statuary, and walkways with lighting that matches their contours is sure to create a magical ambience at night – even simple strands of lights can add dramatic effects; look for ones that resemble moonlight rather than being too bright for neighbors to bear.
Lighting can add the perfect finishing touches to your entryway and stoop. A well-placed wash of light can illuminate a paver driveway’s beauty and help people navigate without tripping, while a lamppost or entry pier lighted with safety lighting illuminates your address so first responders can locate your home easily.
Planters and window boxes are an affordable way to add style and character to a front walkway, stoop, or porch. Combine different sizes and colors for visual interest – or consider matching your plant choice to the paint color in your home for an unified appearance.
