Steve's Front Yard Ideas
This is a home in our neighborhood, we like their front yard. I like (a) the urns on the pedestals, (b) the stone walkways, (c) the mow strips, (d) how the lighting for the walkway is in an area that will not get hit by someone mowing the lawn and they're far enough back from the street that people who walk on the sidewalk won't kick them over.
I like the use of rocks that act almost like a mowstrip here to separate the walkway from the area with a tree and the plants. I also like that some of the plants are in their own pots... I think that may be a good option for sharon to consider as she likes so many different kinds of flowers that may only bloom for a short period of time. Using the planter approach, she could grow them in our garden area and put them on display in the front yard when they bloom.
