Landscaping idea needed for an Eichler

Hanh
hace 11 años
Our front yard is bumpy (due to tree roots) and has extensive grass. I wanted to see if anyone has any idea on how we can redo our yard for a clean, low maintenance yard with a walk up to the door. We redid the siding and painted house last year using the similar Eichler sidings. This is a corner lot. We wanted low cost and low maintenance. I wanted a low watering with more of a desert look or grassy look without the need to hire a gardener.

Any idea or suggestions you have would be truly appreciated.

    You could break up some of the lawn area with pavers/pebbles, maybe even some low walls. Then add dryscape plants/elements. Some well trimmed junipers, red flax, grasses ...

      Low watering? Low maintenance? You want EasyTurf - you get the same look and feel of a lush, green lawn, but not all the maintenance and water costs. Our installation crews will level the ground and make sure to work around any tree roots. Check us out - www.easyturf.com - and let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!

      You definitely need to keep with a mid century modern/contemporary look. I would just keep the lawn where you would use it - if any at all. Then for the modern look just choose a couple of plants and repeat them, keeping them in drifts. You probably want to stay symmetrical. Choose drought tolerant plants like most grasses, kangaroo paws, new zealand flaxes and/ or succulents. Install drip irrigation to further save water. You could also create a walkway to your front door using rectangular pavers and leaving space in between to fill with pebbles and/or ground overs like dymondia.

      Thank you everyone for your input. My house is in Southern California. Thanks Urban Oasis & LessisMoore for your input. That's what I would like. I just struggled on the plants, so definitely thank you for sharing.

      Based on the images Urban Oasis has shown, I would stick with their mid century style ideas and add some textures and colors with grasses and succulents as mentioned. It looks like a good opportunity to add an ornamental tree or 3 to provide shade and keep the front yard cooler throughout the day. Its a blank canvas! So many fun opportunities! Good luck

      Park your car on the street and add some planters along the right side of the front walk, incorporting some lights with the planters, to guide your guests to the hidden welcoming area beyond.

      Add some furniture, where the car was parked and invite your neighbor for morning coffee and review of the morning news. It is a pleasant cool outdoor room, embrace it.
