For a simple landscaping update, add flowers! Plant them in between your landscaping rocks if you have them, or flower pots if you don’t. A hanging basket of flowers is enough to make any front porch look homey.

You’d be surprised at how much lawn edging does to a yard! You can purchase lawn edging kits on Amazon, or you can make your own out of leftover brick, river rock, or strips of bark.

Trees can be expensive, but boy do they make a yard look great! A properly cared for tree will provide your yard with wonderful shade and may even help keep your grass green! However, gardeners should keep in mind that the health of a tree really depends on the climate. Check out this post from Bees and Roses to see which kind of tree would do best in your growing zone and yard.

Entryway

Is your entryway looking a little drab? Make it fab by planting some shrubbery around your concrete. Or, if you’re like my neighbor (below) and didn’t have any kind of walkway, you could make one yourself. See how it highlights their front door? Dark bark really accents their yard well, and the concrete design modernizes the space!

If you’ve got a foundation that you’d like to hide, it’s time to banish it. With thick shrubs, and interesting plants you aren’t even thinking about what the foundation of this home looks like. Personally, I love how the shrubs double as lawn edging. Who doesn’t love a win-win?

Pssst…keeping the last idea in mind, isn’t this yard pathway unconventional?

Want curb appeal in a flash? It’s as easy as installing a porch-side fountain and surrounding it with gorgeous foliage. You can make your own with this tutorial from Bees and Roses or you can purchase on one Amazon.
