Front garden landscaping help!
Hi,
We've finally bought our own home but I am not fussed with the front garden. It has lots of mondo grass tufts (about 40), rocks around the edging and a dracena? tree and a magnolia tree which you can't see in the photo - its off to the right. To the left of the front door is a weeping cherry tree and around it zoysia tenuifolia has been planted which has not spread very far at all. I get the effect they were going for but it doesn't seem to have translated. ON the other side of the door way is some kind of deciduous tree but I don't know what it is. Any ideas? help! When standing at the front door looking towards the garden you are facing due South. Clay like soil, Toowomba area.
Thanks and I look forward to talking to you!

Comments (19)You can check out the outdoor floor tiles like the Scala (Google Snap and Go tile) which are easy to piece additionally on the ground for a new look. ;) I saw another brand here, http://list.qoo10.sg/item/OUTDOOR-TIMBER-FLOOR-TILE-SINGAPORE-SELLER-100-AUTHENTIC-BEAUTIFUL/482453309 (not sure where this brand is from but they all work the same). They even have faux grass, stones as well as timber. Definitely easy to DIY, and you can combine different surfaces together if you want (stones and wood combo for example)....See MoreFront porch and awning

Comments (10)I agree with the others - ask your neighbor about painting the side of the garage that faces your yard. Depending on your style of decor, you can treat this as a part of your yard and change the appearance completely. Consider a low fence to separate your yard from the street/driveway, something similar to the red fence shown, to provide you a smaller "room" for entertaining. I live in an area where the side of the neighbors house defines the property line and have decorated the side of the neighbors house with various items to break up the expanse of wall (old window frames with the glass missing, sections of old iron fences, bird houses, etc); it really helps to cozy up the space. A trench filled with gravel and topped with larger rocks will help with the water issue and direct the water to other areas of the yard. A brick or paver patio would be lovely for establishing a conversation/grill area. The pictures submitted by PC have some great ideas. I can't recommend plants since I have not idea what part of the country you are located in...See MoreSingaporean Houzzer? Say Hi!
