20 AI designed concepts
Your front yard is the only part of your home that everyone sees. These twenty concepts cover the full range of frontages — wide suburban blocks, narrow townhouse strips, steep slopes and dry sites — and each one can be viewed from above or from any of four ground level angles.
Cinematic front yard showcase
Our four most visually striking frontages, presented full bleed so you can read every material and detail. Use the viewpoint buttons on each banner to switch between the aerial plan, the street approach, the view back from the front door and both side boundaries.
MODERN MINIMAL KERB APPEAL
A single storey white render facade with sculpted curved lawn bands, a monolithic limestone entry path and a dark mirror water channel running the length of the frontage. Switch the viewpoint to walk this same home from the drone plan to both side boundaries.
LUXURY ESTATE GRAND ARRIVAL
A sweeping cobblestone circular driveway wrapped around a tiered stone fountain, framed by clipped parterre gardens and tall hedge walls. The full arrival sequence shown from above, from the gates and from the portico.
HAMPTONS COASTAL CLASSIC
White weatherboard, a crushed shell driveway and drifts of blue and white hydrangea behind a picket fence, with a bluestone path leading to the columned porch. Every angle of the one property, right down to the ocean edge.
TUSCAN MEDITERRANEAN ARRIVAL
A sun-warmed stone villa with terracotta roof, sweeping gravel driveway, mature olive trees, drifts of lavender and dry-stone walls. The full arrival sequence from the drone plan to the gates, the portico and both boundary walls.
Before you choose
Where does a visitor park, walk and stand? A path that reads clearly from the street does more for kerb appeal than any plant.
Decide what you want screened from the street and what you want framed. Screening at 1.6–1.8m blocks views; screening at 900mm only defines space.
Lawn is the highest maintenance surface in a front yard. Gravel, groundcover and massed shrubs cut both water and mowing.
Most people arrive home in the dark half the year. Two or three lighting effects — a grazed wall, a lit canopy, path markers — change the whole facade.
The collection
Use the view buttons on each card: Top for the drone plan, then Forward, Rear, Left and Right for ground level.

Measure the boundary width, the setback to the front door and the driveway width. Almost every front yard problem is a proportion problem: a path that is too narrow, a bed that is too shallow, or a tree planted too close to the facade.
The build ranges shown on each concept are typical full-scope figures including earthworks, paving, planting and lighting. Staging the work — hardscape first, planting in the next season — spreads the cost without compromising the design, provided the levels and drainage are set correctly at the start.
