As you move on further, start assessing and taking note of any existing features you have in your front yard. Understand what stays, what can be modified, and what has to be thrown away. Start with Trees and Foundation Plantings. Consider trimming them for a neater look or adding complementary plantings around them. Existing walkways can become charming design features. Line them with low-growing perennials or edging to create a defined path. But remember that modifying or installing new hardscaping elements like walkways and patios can be expensive. If you decide to modify, consider using recycled materials like bricks or pavers to create a budget-friendly alternative.
