Front yards

What are some popular front yard landscaping styles?

The most popular front yard styles in the US right now are modern, cottage, traditional, and xeriscape. Modern uses clean lines, ornamental grasses, gravel, and concrete or steel edging. Cottage packs beds with flowering perennials along curved borders for a softer, fuller look. Traditional leans on symmetry, clipped boxwood, and a neat lawn, and it suits colonial and craftsman homes. Xeriscape replaces lawn with gravel, succulents, and drought-tolerant natives, common across the Southwest and spreading anywhere water costs are rising.

Region matters too: tropical planting works in Florida, Mediterranean styles with olive trees and lavender suit California. The same house can look very different in each style, so it is worth comparing two or three on a photo of your actual yard with front yard design AI before committing.
