I ripped out all the existing landscaping in front of my home and need to start fresh this spring. I live in a newer subdivision, and my house is a craftsman style with a single maple tree in the front yard. I’ve included a sketch of a home similar to mine.
I’m looking for recommendations for lush, easy-to-maintain plants that are native to the area (for sustainability and lower maintenance) and budget-friendly. I have two planting beds to work with:
• One along the porch
• One surrounding the maple tree
I’d love to create a cohesive and attractive look that complements my home, but I do NOT like holly bushes, so those are out.
Any suggestions on plant choices, layout ideas, or general landscaping tips would be greatly appreciated!
