Before and after
Garden design before and after gallery
Drag across each yard to see what changes, then borrow the planting move behind it.
These are design visualizations, not finished installs. Treat them as a direction to adapt to your growing conditions and local plant availability.
Drag the divider to compare.
Spanish entry garden
A sparse entry becomes a layered Mediterranean plan with lavender, silver foliage, warm gravel, and soft grasses.
Idea to borrow: Repeat a small plant palette in broad drifts so the entry reads as one garden, not a collection of singles.
Drought-tolerant ideas
Drag the divider to compare.
Desert courtyard refresh
A tired concrete entry gets a sharper desert look with agave, yucca, cactus, warm gravel, and clean structure.
Idea to borrow: Let a few sculptural plants lead, then use lower repeats to connect them without crowding the route.
No-grass front yard ideas
Drag the divider to compare.
Craftsman cottage entry
A bare Craftsman entry fills in with hydrangeas, cottage spires, and a soft catmint edge along the path.
Idea to borrow: Build height near the house and keep the path edge lower so the walk and front door stay easy to read.
Design a front yard
Drag the divider to compare.
Historic front yard polish
A patchy front yard becomes a more formal arrival with clipped hedges, fresh lawn, layered blooms, and a clear focal point.
Idea to borrow: Use evergreen structure to hold the composition together, then let seasonal flowers supply the change.
Curb appeal ideas
Drag the divider to compare.
Storybook cottage garden
An underplanted cottage front gains depth with massed flowers, a curved route, and a fuller, more settled look.
Idea to borrow: Layer taller plants behind lower path-edge planting, and repeat colors to make abundance feel intentional.
