Any ideas on how to make this front yard more inviting?
Will replace the dead bush up front but can’t think of how to address the rest

Any help much appreciated!

    The stepper planking all the way to the street seems unnecessary to me. I would remove 1/3 to a half of them toward the street and plant a mounded evergreen and flowers with a path light. Add structural shrubbery at the foundation of the house and a modern window box could be pretty. Boxwood hedging could work here if you like that modern style and I think there’s room for a columnar tree off the corner of the house if you are willing to remove a couple of the arborvitae that go all the way to the foundation. You’ll want a landscape architect to plan this.

    There’s more information needed. I would take a picture and give it to chat gpt with as much information as you can like; position, climate, soil type, what you like/dislike etc. and just ask it to give you some designs. then you could always bring them here for discussion 🙂

    An actual front walk, not a step path through stone, would go a long way towards welcoming your visitors.
    Add in a deep front foundation bed with a dual layer of grasses, tall upright in the back and low mounding in the front. Possibly an ornamental tree to anchor the corner of the house by the driveway.

    Just a few thoughts.

    Swap out river rock with black river rock so you have contrast . Add a third pot on the right of entryway.
