Great updates that will transform your front yard into an attractive and welcoming exterior.
\nYour front yard makes a key first impression. Here are a few updates that will transform even an overgrown front yard into an attractive and welcoming exterior.<\/p>\n

1. Plant flowers and trees<\/strong>
\nFlowers are the quickest way to transform the appearance of your front yard. Try planting greenery along your walkway or around the outside of your house. You can also add a few pots of colorful blooms or hanging planters to your porch for a colorful alternative. Trees are another way to boost your curb appeal. Be sure to select trees that thrive in your local climate.<\/p>\n

2. Grab the trimmers<\/strong>
\nTrees, shrubs and plants make a front yard look beautiful. But, it\u2019s easy to let decorative greenery get out of hand. Invest in trimming shears and a good set of clippers to keep overgrown shrubs in control. Cut off any branches that are too close to your home or encroaching on the yard next door. Maintain your hedges regularly to keep them at a nice height and trim any overgrown vines.<\/p>\n

3. Ditch your lawn<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s no doubt that a neatly manicured lawn adds to your front yard\u2019s visual appeal. But, flawless yards also require lots of maintenance. Save time and money by replacing your grass with a mix of low-growing plants. These easy-to-grow alternatives will need less water, less mowing and less fertilizer than a traditional lawn.<\/p>\n

4. Get edgy<\/strong>
\nCreate a defined edge between your garden beds and lawn or driveway. If you\u2019re edging a small area, you can grab a trowel and do the work by hand. For larger jobs, it\u2019s worthwhile to invest in an edger. Look for an edger-weed-whacker combination to double up on usefulness.<\/p>\n

5. Add a pop of color<\/strong>
\nEven the most stunning landscaping won\u2019t hide a home\u2019s dreary exterior. Update the look of your home with a fresh coat of paint. If you\u2019re not ready to change your home\u2019s color, start small. Paint your front door a vibrant hue to update the appearance of your entire house. Or, rent a power washer and remove any grime or buildup to let your home\u2019s true color shine through.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>
\nA drab or neglected front yard doesn\u2019t need a total overhaul to improve its appearance. With these makeover ideas, you can boost your curb appeal and create an exterior that reflects your home\u2019s true personality.<\/p>\n
