Ever wonder why some front yards look nice… but still feel unfinished?
In this video, I break down one of the most common front yard landscaping mistakes homeowners make — especially in newer homes and builder-grade neighborhoods. Nothing is technically “wrong,” yet the yard never feels complete, intentional, or professionally designed.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why front yards often feel incomplete or flat
✅ The design detail most homeowners (and builders) skip
✅ How professional landscape designers think about balance, spacing, and structure
✅ Simple layout adjustments that instantly make a front yard feel finished
✅ The difference between adding plants and actually designing a landscape
This isn’t about spending more money — it’s about using space correctly, creating visual hierarchy, and understanding how front yard landscaping should guide the eye.
If your front yard feels: Forgettable, Builder-grade, Random, or Flat
…this video will explain exactly why — and how to fix it the right way.

Thanks for doing this video! Would the composition be different for a less formal front yard. For instance a woodland vibe.
I was taught in school 10% of a homes value should be invested in the yard. No one follows this rule.
Looks very good!! I don't even have a front yard but still love watching these transformations! Happy 2026
Are viewers able to send house pictures to you? Cuz I have an impossible house. Its just so ugly- and I dont think its possible to make it nice.
How would you landscape a front yard with a reddish colored picket fence surrounding the front, small, yard and a handicap ramp to front door?
This issue of the ramp was a challenging one for me.
I searched online for any ideas and found NONE.
However, to take the eye off the unsightly wooden ramp, I built an arbor over the end of it to be more welcoming from curb.
I put the picket fence up to keep wandering dogs from destroying the investment I put into my plants.
You didnt actually show the before and after at the end of the video. I think it was just nighttime lighting vs daytime bushes. I think your channel is going to be a big hit as the topics are endless!
For the10% of the population who is colorblind, that dark red pot disappears, becoming part of the mulch. It might as well not be there at all.
Disappointing that this is photo shop and not actual work!!!
Thank you. What about no front yard? Or much smaller yard in front
What is the name of this software?
