An excellent first impression is priceless, and your home’s front yard is just that. Below is a roundup (of our strictly own landscape design work in Bucks County, PA) of seven tips to make your front yard landscaping stand above the rest in 2025.
1.) Add a timeless statement stone or contemporary concrete wall – Especially in the Philadelphia area, timeless and durable stone walls can add exponential beauty and structure to your home’s curb appeal. Our area is known for its beautiful stonework, and we have special sources for luxury stone that can really elevate your front yard space.
2.) Implement an automatic sprinkler system to keep your lawn looking fresh – We’ve seen plenty of rain these past weeks, but last year’s extreme droughts are not far from our memories. Get ahead of potential late-season droughts and (if you’re in the Bucks County, Montco, Chester County, or surrounding Philadelphia areas) have us set up an automatic sprinkler system now so that you’re prepared for future drought seasons.
3.) Use an elegant visual barrier to hide unsightly objects – We have become known for our beautiful luxury fencing options that are perfect for concealing swimming pool equipment areas, heating and air conditioning units, and other modern necessities that don’t do any justice to the beauty of your home.
4.) Choose harmonious statement contemporary or classical planters – An investment into high-quality, high-end planters goes a long way when it comes to front yard landscaping design. Here is some inspiration in both our contemporary and our classical planter options that can harmoniously fit in with your modern or classical front beds.
5.) Light your pathway or sidewalk with landscape lighting – Landscape lighting goes a far way in landscape design and front yard curb appeal. A great place to start is to light the pathway to your front door.
6.) Refresh the walkway or sidewalk itself – Coupled with layered and expertly designed planting, refreshing (or completely replacing) your walkway, driveway, or sidewalk is the best investment you can make when it comes to front yard curb appeal. Here are some beautiful samples of our work:
7.) Add multiple layers of height and depth in your planting – The taller your house is, the deeper your front bed landscaping should be. This means that a taller house should have multiple intentional layers of plantings. The design should take into account varying heights and should be arranged around focal points such as the entrance, walkways, corners and courtyards.
