Make an entrance!

Don’t let dismal dustbins and dull driveways be the first view of your home you give visitors and passers-by

Your front garden can give visitors to your home a first impression about you, if it's well maintained, it's a lovely reflection of how much you care about your neighbourhood – plus

it should also give you a warm welcome at the end of the day.

Ideally, front gardens should be low-maintenance and the layout should be simple and smart, but it's always good to add a bit of instant wow factor...
