Ideas for patio and landscaping frontyard in FL?
Question by morango: Ideas for patio and landscaping frontyard in FL?
My husband and I bought our place last yr, and we are still trying to figure what to do in our frontyard. Here is a link with a pic of our place: http://bluemoon576.myphotoalbum.com/albums.php
We live in central FL. My front porch is small as you can see, which I want to keep it this way (we don't use it much except for going in and out). There's this area on the right side that I don't know what to do. We wanted to plant a tree there because in the afternoon is really hot with the sunset (what trees are really good for shading and/or blocking the sun?). We also thought about putting some patio stones, maybe some little bushes and a small fountain? Can you help us figure out what to do? We don't want to spend too much money and not TOO much decoration or details, just a little bit to give that nice touch to the house. Thanks a lot!

Fruitless plum trees are very pretty and grow fairly fast (they are a purple-red color)...small bushes would be boxwoods....they come in green or variegated colors, Daylilly's and Lily of the Nile flower and give nice color. A pondless waterfall would really spruce things up and give a wonderful sound to greet your guests as they approach your door.
