Gardens may be more of a backyard arrangement, but keeping one in the front of your house is just as rewarding. Not only do you still get to enjoy time with your plants, but you can also beautify your home. Front yards are one of the main attractions of your home’s exterior, so what better way to stand out on the block than with some lush landscaping? Below are some brilliant front yard gardens with stunning landscaping we’re just dying to have!

Displays like the one above are also water efficient and give this home a contemporary look. Rocks and pebbles not only conserve water, but also add touches of color that can highlight the plants’ green hues.

Mulch is another great alternative for grass. These black-eyed Susans stand out nicely against the mulch’s brown pigment, the green plants, and the house’s beige paint, giving this landscape a casual but elegant look.
