Home Landscapes-Front and Back (Page 2)

keep the visitors interest by creating interesting or exciting things to look at in the front of a home as they make the approach to the front door. Some examples to accomplish this are to plant exciting textures, color or form contrast, these are great ways to catch an eye in the landscape. The time spent looking at the front of a home is even shorter in a vehicle than on foot. Therefore, it is even more important to capture their attention by developing not only the foundation of the home with plantings and accessories, but by using the spaces near the roadway to add even more garden drama. This serves the purpose of putting the excitement closer to the viewing point (the vehicle) and also repeating the front design elements creating stronger design.
