See how you don't need to include a myriad of trinkets in order to enjoy an enticing front garden design?
• DO step out to the street for a kerbside viewpoint of your house and yard before you start buying, building, planting and growing. This will help you establish kerb appeal, which forms a crucial part of your home’s overall value.
• DON’T force a garden feature (like a fountain, oversized flower bed, hammock… ) where it doesn’t look right. Allow the layout of your land to inspire some unique front garden ideas.
• DO factor in your house’s architectural style when considering different front garden designs. It can help avoid a clash of styles.
• DON’T plant anything too close to garden pathways. Remember comfortable space is a necessity for swinging arms, carrying packages, etc. About 60 cm of space should suffice.
