Front Yard Landscaping FAQs

You can build privacy on your front lawn by adding tall plants. For building fences, privacy screens, and retaining walls, you should always refer to the applicable Victorian legislation for allowed specifications and necessary permits. However, an experienced landscape designer would already know these by heart so you won’t usually need to worry about any possible non-compliance issues with regulations.
The best landscaping in front of a house largely depends on your personal preferences and the specific qualities of the existing landscape, such as the amount of shade, rainfall, etc. But in general, you’ll want to go with front yard landscaping that won’t get out of control too quickly. For example, if you forget to do a routine gardening task or schedule required maintenance, will the health or the aesthetics of the entire landscape be ruined? After all, even the most avid DIY home gardeners can miss something every now and then.
To design landscaping in front of your house, you have to first know everything you can about the existing landscape. You should know the landscape slope, the soil type, and the existing or nearby vegetation (including the pests they attract, the diseases they have, and the possible extent of their roots). Next, you should choose plants based on the available space you have and their characteristics (including their ideal temperature, humidity, and weather conditions as well as their irrigation, drainage, and sunlight exposure needs).

Once you’ve chosen your 3 top plants which are likely to thrive considering your front yard’s location, you should now figure out the best placements for them within the landscape. To do this, you’ll need to know at least the basics of landscape grading. If you’re designing the landscaping in front of your house without any help from a landscape designer, you should focus on ensuring that your vegetation is likely to thrive even with minimal maintenance.
Considering that natural grass should be at least 20 centimetres away from the house, small-growing trees and shrubs 60 centimetres away, and large-growing shrubs and trees 120 centimetres away, landscaping around a house should be about 400 centimetres wide. Of course, if you don’t plan on planting large-growing shrubs and trees, the landscaping around your house can be about 280 centimetres wide only.
There are many ways to modernise your front yard through landscaping. You can install, rejuvenate, or re-turf a lawn. Simply tidying up or maintaining the front yard well can give it a modern appearance too. You can also install stone pavers to create a pathway and add clean grey pebbles. Another way to modernise your front yard is to install garden edging between the yard and the sidewalk or pathway. A small minimalist fountain can also give your front yard an additional flair of elegance. As a finishing touch, switching to sleeker lighting options will help make your yard look even more modern.
The most low maintenance landscaping is xeriscaping since it focuses on lowering watering needs. Xeriscaping includes using mulch, minimising turf or opting for the synthetic version, and incorporating native vegetation. Another tip for low maintenance landscaping is garden edging to prevent weed invasion and the subsequent weed removal. It’s also important to choose low maintenance plants such as perennials, evergreens, and types which are resistant to drought as well as to the common local pests and diseases.
