Front Yard Overhaul with Custom Fountain Feature and New Landscaping

Old rock and overgrown plants can drag down the look of an otherwise beautiful home. That's exactly what we were dealing with here - a front yard that just wasn't doing this stone exterior any favors. The bones of the house were stunning, so the goal was simple: build a landscape that actually matched it.

We pulled everything out and started fresh. New planting beds with clean, curving edges line the front of the house, filled with a mix of upright evergreens, low shrubs, and accent rock. The result is a front yard that feels intentional. Structured without being stiff. Every plant placement was chosen to complement the stone facade, not compete with it.

The centerpiece of the whole design is the custom fountain feature near the entry. A natural stone column with water cascading down into a rock bowl - it's the kind of detail that makes people stop and look twice when they pull into the driveway. It adds movement and sound to an otherwise static space, which changes the entire feel of the entry.

Two stone columns frame the front approach and tie the hardscape elements back to the home's existing stonework. Pair that with the fresh sod and newly edged lawn, and you've got a front yard that looks like it belongs on the house - not just planted in front of it. Landscape lighting throughout the beds means it looks just as good after dark.

Getting curb appeal right isn't just about planting a few shrubs and calling it done. It takes a plan. We think through how each element relates to the next - the lawn, the beds, the hardscape, and the water feature all work together here as one cohesive design.
