Both front yard and back yard as well as patio gardening design differ because the front of the house allows for the first impression, not only the visitor receives, but the home-owner is welcomed home to. As well as shaping the first impressions of visitors, the front yard design needs to offer accessibility. It must be remembered that home owners spend much less time in the front and patio, so the course and garden designs are generally focused around pathways or driveways.Creating front yard gardening appeal is also great for added property value, and the more simple and inspiring it is, the more money and time can be spend on the back yard design, where everyone looks to; for their own private gardening and kitchen love. Front yard landscaping in the US is a very new concept, and has come about as a greater need for security because more homes are set back on the land, and surrounded by secure garden walls. This was once the territory of the rich and famous, but is becoming a trend for many more US home owners.Taking the time to landscape the front yard, whether for curbside appeal, added value or simply because of an inspired vision; does take imagination. With the correct focus and plans, the establishment of a front yard landscape design makes it simple for the owner to become involved. Not all home owners just want their yard to look superb, many are inspired to become involved in the creative process, and if not that, at least in the refreshment and care processes.Gardening is good for the soul, this is why a professional consultation, and the establishment of an initial front yard design should be geared to generate ideas and stimulate creativity in the owner. It is your garden, there is no such thing as "hands-off."It is in the eye of the creator that great landscaping lies, so although there are guidelines to be followed, these are not hard, and fast rules cast in stone. Creative input from the home owner is welcomed by Landscape Art although consistency and repetition is a means. Color, different elements of the existing landscape, size, height, symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, and texture are all elements of character.The creation of themes which run through both front and back yard design is vital to creating this consistency, repetition and unity - this is how harmony is achieved. A theme is simple to imagine if the beholder or creator has a passion for, or at the very least something they truly enjoy; something as simple as daisies and butterflies, or frogs, fairies and lilies. Plants which attract butterflies are generally attractive themselves, and if things are kept simple in the beginning, it is easy to expand on any theme.
