Curb appeal is a home's first impression. It is that finished look that separates an ordinary-looking home from one that is inviting and beautiful.
One of the easiest ways to instantly boost curb appeal is making sure one's yard is well landscaped. Include a mix of plant size, color, and texture for optimal results.

Here are some curb appeal ideas to take your landscape to the next level.
Bring attention to your front door with lighting.
No matter the style of your home, you can’t go wrong with a classic sconce that hangs on the exterior wall.
Mailboxes should
complement the home and express the homeowner's personality. Surround your mailbox with a beautiful flowering garden to
instantly make your front yard more welcoming and approachable.

A bench that's visible and accessible creates a visual point that beckons visitors into your yard.

Add contrast and color to your home exterior with a new planting bed. Prime spots for curb appeal are at the front corners of the yard, along driveways or walkways, and immediately in front of the house.
Frame your front entrance with hanging flowers. A metal basket filled with florals is a natural way to decorate a bare wall in your outdoor space. Consider flowers that will cascade over the side, like ivy geraniums and small petunia do here, to give your hanging container a sense of movement.
