The front gardens near the house are a very important element of decor. Since this is the first thing that catches the eye, they should be attractive and memorable. It is safe to say that the front garden is the visiting card of the house. That is why it needs to be designed correctly and beautifully.
Front garden design
The design of the front garden should be made in accordance with the overall look and style of the house and the entire site. The front garden should not be too colorful and stand out, but rare plantings should not be allowed. It looks good when everything is in harmony: the vegetation, the type of fence, and the architecture of the house itself. Do-it-yourself front gardens near the house always look original. If they are made out for a village house, you can make a wooden fence, which will emphasize the originality of the style. If the front garden will be made out in the city, then it is better to make a forged fence and a green boxwood hedge for it.
Types of front gardens
Front gardens can be divided into closed and open. Everyone can determine which one is more suitable for the site.
So, if the front garden is small, it is better to make it open, and if it is large, then it can be divided into zones, using all kinds of obstacles for this. It will also depend on where exactly the planting of flowers is located. If the flower garden is planned to be laid out directly in front of the fence due to the proximity of the house to the street, then it is better to make a closed front garden. With the help of tight landings, you can hide well from the noise and dust from the street. If the house is located deep in the site, then you can arrange front gardens near the house. They can be made in the form of a lawn and serve as a wonderful decoration.
Choosing plants for front gardens
When choosing plants, you need to think carefully. The appearance of the front garden will depend on this. First of all, flowers should be chosen based on the size of the area for planting. If it is small, then plants with large leaves that will have bright colors should not be planted. They will only narrow the space. Small front gardens near the house (photo 2) will look beautiful if the main area is defined for flowers. If you want to visually increase the area, you should plant flowers that will have blue, lilac or purple tones. Plantings with light leaves and flowers will also help here. In addition, small front gardens near the house will look beautiful if climbing and climbing plants are placed on their territory. In addition, the choice of plants will depend on the type of house itself. If itthe facade is rather laconic and restrained, then you can use various lush vegetation with many flowers. If the facade is decorated with rich finishing materials, then the front gardens near the house should be made in a restrained style with minimal and stylish plantings that will look more natural and will not distract too much attention. By choosing the right plantings, you can emphasize the beauty of the house and make it stand out nicely.
