Landscaping: Three Suggestions to Brighten Your Front Yard
A well-kept front yard offers value for guests and something for the neighborhood community to enjoy. A nice landscape says a lot about the homeowner — their habits, standards, styles, and spirit. Front yards may vary in size, but even a small space can define curb appeal and make a great first impression on visitors. For DIY enthusiasts, here are a few landscaping ideas that will enliven your front yard, from the pros at Nixa Lawn Service.

Petunias on the Porch
If you’re an inexperienced gardener or you are unsure where to begin, try adding a planter with petunias to either side of your front door. Petunias, which bloom for an extended period of time, can be used in hanging baskets on your porch or as a focal point in your flower beds. The pretty pinks and purples can coordinate nicely with a colorful home, visually tying it all together.

Picket Fence
Make your home look like a country cottage with a classic white picket fence. You can plant a small variety of flowers and roses on the fence line for instant curb appeal. Neighbors and pedestrians will stop to admire this lovely display that gives your landscape a fairy tale effect.
There are different types of fences you could install, such as vinyl material, wood picket fencing, or chain link fencing that’s painted white. For safety and convenience, plan a path from the fenced area to your porch or door. Also, having an open gate at the path seems inviting and adds even more personality to your front yard.
Garden Arbor Entryway
Create a cozy, enchanting garden space by adding an arbor to your landscape. When you pair an arbor with a picket fence, you get a welcoming entryway that urges guests to explore. Wide flower beds with red roses will add charm and elegance to your garden entryway. If you enjoy DIY home projects, you can build an arbor from scratch and customize its design.
