Interesting front yard curb appeal ideas. Plenty of great inspiration for our front yard, which we’re in the process of landscaping. I’m not set on any one thing yet, but I was looking at some other articles about front yard landscaping: this post puts more of a focus on description rather than images, but they do have some good ideas that complement this. Why not add some night images with lighting features? Lighting is one thing that I think many people gloss over when landscaping their front yard. In any event, this is very helpful.
