Front Yard Landscaping Ideas

The new irregular bluestone walk is an inviting paving material. Boxwood, hosta, and pachysandra groundcover were massed around large boulders. Dimmable LED lights were used to uplight the house and key plants. Down lights were positioned in trees to moon light the paving , planting and gravel areas.

A new concrete driveway was installed. The bluestone walk leads you to the front door. New plantings, LED lighting and subtle grade changes all work together to provide a lush and inviting sequence of visual events as you enter the house. We kept the paper birch by the kitchen windows, the Oak tree along the left property line and a mature spruce along the driveway.

New construction home designed and built by Hartman Baldwin. The landscape is extensive and was a collaborative effort between HB and NC Design. We created a beautiful drought tolerant landscape that blended in well with the surrounding hillsides. To ensure a healthy, vibrant environment for years to come, many colorful succulents, grasses, yuccas and flowering low-water perennials were used throughout the property, along with non-fruiting Olive trees and Palo Verde.

What an approach! A combination of European sandstone, reclaimed curbing and Belgian Porphyry squares create one stunning and functional driveway, built to last a lifetime.
