When planning your dream outdoor space, it’s important to think about your front yard and backyard separately. Both serve different purposes, and both deserve thoughtful design. At Monarch Landscaping, we specialize in creating balanced, functional, and beautiful outdoor spaces for Burlington homeowners. Here’s how to approach each area of your property.
Front Yard Landscaping: First Impressions Count
Your front yard is the first thing visitors – and potential buyers – see. A well-designed front yard boosts curb appeal and sets the tone for your entire property.
Design Tips for Front Yards in Burlington Landscaping:
- Prioritize Curb Appeal – Add shrubs, flower beds, and edging for a polished look.
- Think Symmetry – Pathways, plant beds, and lighting work best when they frame the entrance.
- Low-Maintenance Plants – Choose hardy options like boxwoods, hostas, or ornamental grasses for long-lasting beauty.
- Seasonal Interest – Incorporate perennials and evergreens so your front yard looks attractive year-round.
- Lighting Matters – Path lights and accent lighting highlight features and improve safety.
Backyard Landscaping: Your Personal Retreat
While the front yard is about presentation, the backyard is about relaxation and function.
Design Tips for Backyards in Burlington Landscaping:
- Create Zones – Divide the space into dining, lounging, and play areas.
- Add Hardscaping – Patios, retaining walls, and walkways provide structure and usability.
- Privacy Matters – Use fencing, trees, or hedges to create a private escape.
- Outdoor Living – Consider a fire pit, pergola, or outdoor kitchen for entertaining.
- Lawn vs. Garden Balance – Decide how much grass you need for activities and how much space you want for gardens.
Blending Front and Back for a Complete Look
The key to great Burlington landscaping is cohesion. While the front should focus on curb appeal and the backyard on lifestyle, both should reflect your personal taste. Using consistent materials (like stone, wood, or plant choices) ties everything together.
