A front courtyard landscape design can be something interesting and
different to have. This might be a large part paved area as part of your
entryway or can also be a more intimate sitting area. There is no
reason not to use your front yard and enjoy it!
This can be a large area near your front door which is made important by being surrounded by plantings. There are so many ways to design this, but you may want to include some of the following.
Perhaps your front yard just lends itself to a nice sitting area. The above image shows a charming courtyard landscape design and includes a patio, a seat wall, a small fountain, privacy plantings, shrubs, and perennials. It is close to the front walkway for easy access.
Most people like privacy when they sit outside and this is even more important in the front yard. Also, the space becomes more intimate if there is a sense of enclosure. There are a few ways that these two elements can be created.
Even if your courtyard is more intimate, you can still add a small fountain, sculpture or urns.

"Susan, what a pleasure it was to work with you. You made me feel like I was your only client - responding late at night and always so quickly! Your design is amazing and we only hope we can do justice to it when we plant . You have such fantastic ideas and you are so open to suggestions and changes. Loved working with you - now if you could only come to Canada and plant it !!! "
