Publisher's Summary

Both front yard and back yard designs, as well as patio gardening, differ because the front of the house allows for a first impression, not only for the received visitor but also for home-owner who is welcomed home. As well as shaping the first impressions for visitors, front yard design needs to offer accessibility. It must be remembered that home owners spend less time in the front yard and front patio, so the course and garden designs are generally focused around pathways or driveways. Creating front yard gardening appeal is also great for added property value, and the more simple and inspiring it is, the more money and time can be spend on the back yard design, where everyone looks to for their own private gardening and kitchen gardens.

Front yard landscaping in the US is a new concept and has come about as a greater need for security because more homes are set back on the land and are surrounded by secure garden walls. This was once the territory of the rich and famous but is becoming a trend for many more US home owners. Taking the time to landscape the front yard, whether for curbside appeal, added value, or simply because of an inspired vision, does take imagination. With the correct focus and plans, the establishment of a front yard landscape design makes it simple for the owner to become involved.

Not all home owners want their yard to look just superb, many are inspired to become involved in the creative process, and, if not that, then at least in the refreshment and care processes. Gardening is good for the soul; this is why a professional consultation and the establishment of an initial front yard design should be geared to generate ideas and stimulate creativity in the owner.

It is your garden, so there is no such thing as "hands-off". It is in the eye of the creator that great landscaping lies; so, although there are guidelines to be followed, these are not hard and fast rules cast in stone. Creative input from the home owner is welcomed.
