The landscaping directly in front of a house is usually called foundation planting, the bed of shrubs, perennials, and small trees that runs along the front wall to soften the line where the house meets the ground. The broader term for everything between the street and the door is simply front yard landscaping, and real estate listings often call it curb appeal landscaping.
Two other terms come up often. Softscape means the living parts, plants, lawn, and mulch. Hardscape means the built parts, walkways, edging, retaining walls, and lighting. A typical front yard plan combines both, anchored by the foundation bed.
If you are planning a new foundation bed, you can try a few arrangements on a photo of your own house with AI front yard design before settling on one.
