Ideas for Front Yard Gardens With No Grass
How much lawn grass do you need? The answer to this differs from person to person; however, it does help to think it through. For most, a small patch is sufficient. And more and more people realize that no-grass landscaping a front yard is acceptable.
Option 1: Lush and Full Of Plants
This approach is for all the horticulturists, the type of gardeners whose motto is, the more plants, the merrier! Many people fall into this category and have long since ditched their lawns. In place is a seating area made up of a stone patio surrounded by dozens of colorful and lush plants that depending on the space, can include a few trees, shrubs, perennials, and grasses.
Option 2: Use Carefully Chosen Plants To Create a Clean and Modern Look
If you are looking for a less crowded and more predictable garden, you should consider using a smaller palette of plants. Plants are notorious for being unpredictable, and growing a complex, plant-intensive garden is not everyone’s cup of tea. However, this does not mean your garden has to be boring, far from it! Gardens that use a few carefully-curated plants can often create a visually calming space and exude a more modern vibe. An uncomplicated palette will also help to keep the maintenance manageable. As a result, limiting the palette is a good idea for amateur gardeners.
Option 3: Strike a Balance
When you use fewer plants, choosing the most appropriate soil conditions and climate is crucial. So take your time, and do some research because there’s an inherent risk of using a small number of plant species and then repeating them. When you use the same plant over and over in your landscape, and they fail to thrive for whatever reason, that failure is evident based on the sheer number planted.
