1. We begin with an empty front yard landscape design. Remember, if you already have plants and trees you'd like to keep in your design, you can still reshape your beds and use this plan as a guide for your new front yard.

8. In the final step, we added another tree for interest. It stands in its own bed away from the other beds. Three trees of varying heights helps create a natural, organic front yard design. Try to go for odd numbers in design. Also, it helps that this last tree is offset from the middle. Had we placed it in the middle of the other two trees it would block the entrance and create an unnatural look.

In step 7, we added annual flowers to the outside perimeter of the beds for contrast. If you opt for this step, make sure you choose a flower or plant that is shorter than the plants behind it. Also, if you don't want to use a flower, make sure your plant choice is different enough to stand out from the plants behind it.

7. In this step, we added a tall, narrow arborvitae on either side of the front entrance to create a focal point around the front door. Boxwood was used in front of the taller plantings. To fill out the rest of the large bed on the left, we used hostas that will thrive under the shade from the tree. Your front yard landscape design is almost complete.

6. Fill in around the trees or shrubs with a smaller specimen. An evergreen like Boxwood or Eonymous would be an excellent choice. For perspective, keep taller specimens in the center or the back of your beds. Fill in the front with shorter plants.

5. Add a tree or appropriate sized shrub to the center of each circular bed. For example, I used a taller tree on the left because it's a larger bed. Also, this bed attaches to a full, second story height. Notice on the extreme right, I used a shorter tree to match the height of that roofline. The smaller bushes fit into smaller beds and they don't obstruct the view of the house. We want to showcase the house, not cover it up.

4. Wherever you can, connect the beds so they flow into each other. If you go back and look at the picture for step three, you'll notice how hard it would be to cut the grass between these circles. Try to connect them in ways that will retain part of the original circular shape.

2. Here's a top view of the same house. In this design, we will be switching back and forth between these two views so you can understand and recreate the design at home.
