The front garden is designed to introduce color and texture while maintaining a low profile that complements the house and the prominent hydrangeas flanking the front porch. A single vertical focal point—the Deer Run Spruce—anchors the southwest corner of the porch, providing height without overwhelming the space. The remaining flower bed is intended to accentuate the boulder retaining wall and the architectural features of the home. All plantings in this area are perennials, with the exception of the secondary terrace near the front steps, where seasonal annuals are rotated each year to provide fresh visual interest.
