Front Yard Rock Gardens

[Kristl Walek]

I've searched and searched---assuming that what I was looking for would be found somewhere in this forum, or the archives...

Would like to see some visual examples of front-yard rock gardens (on smallish properties).

Can someone help (provide some links) or post your own pictures.

Try Harry Jans's website.
It has got some photographs of his garden (including his front garden) on it.
He has link to it from his forum 'profile'.
I doubt you will find anything finer.

In the UK a yard is something you can sweep with a yard brush, and there would have no plants of any sort. We have gardens front and back!

And it is about three feet deep!

We used to roller skate and play hopscotch in my Granny's back yard in Huddersfield.

Hi Kristl !

Here are some views of my "front" rock garden - pictures taken from different angles :

Hope this gives you an idea.

Fantastic...that is exactly what I was after.
Thank you----

very nice, luc--beautifully maintained...

as for yard/vs garden--there is of course some overlap, but usually to use the word garden here, there must be some specific plantings--and more than trees and shrubs with grass, unless that is part of a larger intentional plan..
much of my 'yard' is far too wild and undeveloped for me to even think of using the word garden, and nor could you sweep it, unless maybe your 'brush' were attached to a tractor

Luc - what an excellent garden in front of your house! I'll take it as an inspiration to build something similar!
Did you ever have problems with neighbours children, dogs, cats or destructions and theft caused by passerby?
