Home Landscaping - Front and Back Many people overlook the idea that a property should be developed and accessorize outside the home as much as it is inside the home, plants and accessories do not have to be expensive, just well thought out and well placed. There's a statistic that was published several years ago that stated that for each dollar spent in landscaping, a three dollar return was not uncommon in the resale of that home. The front and rear of a home are treated differently when considering landscape design. The front of the home is usually within close proximity to a public street and can be approached either by vehicle or by pedestrian walk.Landscape curb appeal is important and is the first impression that a visitor or potential homebuyer sees when introducing the property.With this in mind, the average time that a passerby or visitor looks at the front of a home is short. Therefore, from a landscape professional's perspective, the object of the front landscape design should be to frame the home and keep the visitors interest by creating interesting or exciting things to look at in the front of a home as they make the approach to the front door.
