Walkway and Structures

The first aspect of your front yard that you should consider is the path or walkway that leads up to your front door. This pathway can be created using stones, bricks, or concrete, but it is the base to your landscaping idea and one of the focal points of the yard so keep this in mind when adding unnecessary curves. A front yard that is steep can have a path that incorporates steps into the design to ensure that the walkway on a hill idea is not too steep for your guests. If you want more of a garden feel in your front yard, using mulch or tan bark to create a path is appropriate as well, though oftentimes these paths are accompanied by stepping stones to make sure that the ground is even.
