Alt: front yard from above. Three oblong shaped garden beds surrounded by gravel, with medium to large rocks placed to provide "interest" zones for low growing plants
You be got a knack for creating interestingly shaped beds! Mine always come out… four sided, lol. Well done!

I appreciate the curves & pathways of your design!
The gravel & paving will cause increased temperatures & dry out your soil. You may want to double check that the plants designated for the outside edges of your gardens are from prairie zones or rocky regions. If your driveway/sidewalk are salted in the winter, those closest will have to be salt-resistant/coastal as well.
Personally, I’ve struggled to find short native plants that will thrive beside my driveway due to the demanding requirements.

Looks great! Any thought of adding trees? You can probably fit two in the large planting area and one each in the smaller (depending on the size of tree).

If you’d like that whole rock garden vibe then you will want to partially bury your rocks so the bottom taper is under soil. Will give a more natural look.
