    Front yards

    Design That Welcomes

    Your front yard sets the tone for your home. At Field Outdoor Spaces, we create front yard designs that balance curb appeal with everyday usability – entry pathways that feel natural, plantings that soften the home, and spaces that invite connection. Whether you want a simple refresh or a full redesign, we make the front of your home feel intentional, cohesive, and welcoming year-round.

    Why Choose Field’s Slopes?

    Frequently asked questions

    01
    I have a dark, leaved maple in my front yard and I can’t get anything to work underneath. Do you have any thoughts?
    −
    Many ‘Crimson King’ Maples have been planted in front yards in the last 30-40 years. What you are experiencing is common. This variety of maple has a very thick canopy which leads to a deep shade that is hard for most plants to thrive in. Additionally, this tree pulls tons of water out of the soil AND exudes chemicals through the roots that inhibit other plants. When we consider a design for a front yard with a Norway maple we consider three things (1) have an arborist thin the canopy of the tree to let more light in; (2) consider non-plant structures like steppers, gravel areas and boulders as well as pots and bird baths and (3) only use the toughest of plants. Being diligent with watering after the installation is crucial in these conditions.
    02
    I see a lot of little front patios cropping up in my neighborhood - can we incorporate something like that in the design?
    +
    Front sitting patios are the modern equivalent of the “front porch”. They bring a sense of life and community to neighborhoods – so we love them! These are great features even if you don’t sit out there – choose a couple nice colored, all-weather Adirondack chairs and your front will have a composed look throughout the season.
    03
    I find most front-foundation plantings boring – what can we do to make it more interesting?
    +
    The traditional foundation-planting IS pretty boring. We recommend either extending the bed or designing an island bed further out in the yard. By lobing the foundation bed out on one side we are often able to get a tree or other key plant in the design and can incorporate curved bedlines and swaths of plants that are much nicer than a line of plants as seen in many foundation plantings and we love island planting beds further out in the landscape because they can be seen from inside the house and take the pressure off the foundation bed being the first thing you see.
    04
    Can we do veggies in the front yard?
    +
    There are many good reasons for doing veggies in the front yard. Front yards are generally sunny, its usually easy to drag a hose to the front, and front yards don’t have as much “going on” as backyards. With raised planters, a surrounding gravel area and other elements like trellises and border plantings, a veggie area can look neat and composed even in the most formal of neighborhoods.
