The Honest Truth
Every design choice has tradeoffs. Here's what nobody tells you.
What's Great
- •Immediate ROI—curb appeal directly impacts home value (5-11% increase documented)
- •First impression for every guest and passerby
- •Relatively small area means changes are affordable
- •You see it every time you come home—daily enjoyment
The Reality Check
- •Everyone has an opinion—neighbors, HOA, your mother-in-law
- •Public-facing means you can't hide mistakes
- •Theft risk for nice pots, plants, and decor
- •Street trees and utilities limit what you can plant
- •Parking and guest access constrains design options

I landscaped my front yard and wish I had...
Checked the mature size of shrubs—my 'dwarf' hollies are now blocking all my windows
Planned for how it looks in winter—it's gorgeous in June and embarrassing in January
Considered sight lines when backing out—that cute ornamental grass is a safety hazard
Thought about maintenance—I chose high-maintenance plants for the most visible part of my property
Added lighting from day one—my beautiful landscaping disappears after dark when I'm actually home to see it
