What garden design works best for a front yard?

Front yard gardens serve a dual purpose: they need to look good from the street (curb appeal) while also welcoming visitors to your entrance. The best front yard designs create a clear path to the door with plantings that frame the approach. Cottage-style front gardens with a mix of perennials along a winding path feel welcoming and charming. Modern front yards with clean hardscape, ornamental grasses, and architectural plants create a sophisticated first impression. Native plant meadows reduce maintenance while supporting pollinators. Foundation plantings with layered heights — tall at the back, medium in the middle, low at the front — create professional depth. Consider your neighborhood context: a wildflower meadow looks intentional in a rural setting but may seem neglected in a formal suburban street. Use Arden to test different styles on your front yard photo and see which approach elevates your home's street presence.
