Design for front yard landscaping ideas and plans for backyards usually have different purposes. Most front yards generally follow a purpose of accessibility and invitation. It's where we enter and leave are homes but spend very little time. So usually most of the thought process goes into creating walkways and driveways. Then the design is created around that.

Creating front yard curb appeal is a good idea for adding value, a sense of invitation, and to frame the picture of your home. But you shouldn't have to spend a lot of your budget creating landscaping ideas for most front yards. A simple functional design works best. Then, since the backyard is where most people spend most of their time, you can spend more energy and money on the back.

On a major scale, landscaping front yards is kind of a new thing. It's really one of those American ideas that has only gained popularity in recent years. If you look at pictures of European gardens, you'll notice that generally there is just a small courtyard and entry in the front while most of the focus goes to designing inner courtyards and landscape designs for yards in the back.
