Front yard landscaping is an excellent way to increase your home’s curb appeal. It can also bring you a sense of pride and enjoyment in having a beautiful lawn.
Whether you want to build on your existing design or start from scratch, several elements must be considered to ensure the result suits your lifestyle, budget, and home style.
We offer services in both of these areas. Greenscaping deals with your lawn and gardens, while hardscape focuses on the patio, walkways, gates, and other structures. A complete understanding of greenscape (landscaping) and hardscape allows Garden Appeal to make a beautiful garden aligned with the desired hardscaping. We can provide the same services for your home’s complete exterior design.
The front of your home is used for access for vehicles and pedestrians and should be efficient and safe to navigate. Consider the layout and condition of your main walk, driveway, pathways, stairs, and porch, and determine if they need revamping or updating.
These plantings give a look of permanence to your home while providing shade, structure, and color. Design and placement of the right plant in the right place with ultimate size, shape, form, and texture in mind give your landscape a unique and sensible look that works well with the local growing capabilities.
Whether you install a fence, retaining wall, flagstone path, or border of lush flowers or greenery, these elements can help outline your property or identify any unique, intimate, or formal areas of your front yard landscape.
Every landscape needs a center of interest or an area of activity trees, pergolas, fountains, and decorative containers are incorporated into your landscape design for a unique accent.
Outdoor lighting is necessary for safety and security. Layering the lighting in your front yard can illuminate a focal point or architectural features or help visitors find your home.
Garden Appeal can craft your ideal retaining wall depending on your particular needs. To do so, we will begin by asking you about your landscape. Is your backyard comprised of soil sand, clay, or another material? What is above the wall? Will the ground above or below the wall be level or sloped? What is the ideal height of the wall? These questions will help determine which type of retaining wall is the best fit for your Northern Virginia home.
Your options include:

The best landscape lighting designs feature a mix of lighting solutions to highlight different areas of your yard and create an attractive space to enjoy the outdoors. We can combine elements like driveway lighting, path lighting, tree uplighting, and patio lights to beautify your yard and make it safer to navigate after dark.
We can transform your space and make it an ideal location for entertaining, enjoying the sunset, or relaxing. Our lighting designs can incorporate all types of landscape lighting solutions:
Make it easy to travel through your yard at night with well-placed path lighting and driveway lighting to illuminate the route.
Highlight features like decorative stairways, seating areas, planters, and outdoor kitchens with downlighting that illuminates the area from above.
Showcase beautiful trees and bushes, flags, or wall-mounted design elements with subtle uplighting from below.
Highlight gorgeous design features like trees, fountains, or statues, or illuminate large areas with well-placed flood lighting.
Create depth and dimension with shadow lighting that casts light on a surface in front of another object like a retaining wall, tree, or garage.
Make your yard safer and more secure after nightfall with security lighting that lets you navigate safely and helps you spot any uninvited guests like foraging animals or lost neighbors.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to walkway design. When creating the design for your walkway, there are plenty of things to consider during the creative process. The geometry of your walkway is generally determined by the relationships and locations of the places that are to be connected. You can choose straight or curvilinear geometry depending on available space and desired aesthetics. Straight walkways are simply that— a straight path connecting your front door and the street, for example.
Curvilinear walkways offer a meandering aesthetic for your exterior, helping to create a more naturalistic look and feel within your landscaping. Providing the space is ample enough, you may choose to incorporate multiple curves, and even switchbacks for a more interesting design. To accommodate for steep areas in your landscaping, you can opt for the addition of steps, intricate landings, and varying shapes, widths, and designs for your walkway to create depth and interest.
