Front-yard Fix
Give
your home and yard the adornment they deserve, by Michael Weishan
A short drive through any town
or cit in America will on occasion reveal an essential fact: Many of our
front-yard landscapes are boring. Rows upon rows of the same bland
evergreens march across our facades, with nary an interesting flower or
form in sight. What's worse, many of these plantings, with their dark,
lugubrious massing, hide the very homes they were meant to adorn. Whether
you're interested in quickly improving the appearance of our home,
increasing your property's value, or merely enhancing the streetscape you
see daily, there is no more effective way to go about it than replacing that
dreary foundation planting and transforming your front into a friendly,
inviting garden space. Here are some guidelines to help get you started.
Understand Your Site
How and what
you can grow will depend entirely on your site conditions, requiring
a design custom-tailored to fit your yard, not simply dropped into place. For
instance: What direction does the planting face? (South-facing foundation
plantings are often extremely hot and dry, baked by the adjacent foundation;
north-facing ones, often plunged into deep, damp shade. Each requires
specialized plant material.) How much sun does the area receive, and does it
receive it uniformly? (Irregularities or indentations in to facade may cast
odd shadows, creating differing microclimates.) What is the condition of the
soil around the foundation? (Often bad, full of construction debris, and
quite alkaline owing to leaching from the concrete foundation.) Are there
existing plantings that you need to match? (Echoing extant plantings is one
way to blend newly landscaped areas into an overall design.) All these
factors and more will determine what work needs to be done and what plants
will thrive where. If you are unsure how to select proper plant material for
the conditions you face, consult a local nursery.
Enhance, Not Hide
Foundation
plantings are meant to complement, not conceal, your home architecture.
Unless you live in a structure that is more than three stories tall, or have
a large, windowless wall to cover, you should avoid species that will grow
much above the sills of the first-story windows. And DO believe what you
read on the plant label: If it says "X will reach 15 feet tall,"
it will, despite how cute and
compact the plant appears at the moment. Chief culptris here are full-sized
trees such as spruces, firs, and pines, which are commonly and inexplicably
included in foundation plantings, but which invariably grow quickly out of
scale.
Avoid Row Planting
Another
common mistake one sees is shrubbery lined up in a single row across the
front of a house. The result, without exception, is prosaic. Instead, plant
deep beds - 10 to 15 feet is not excessive - placing the tallest specimens
at the rear and graduating to smaller material at the front, using plants in
combinations of threes, fives, and sevens, with an occasional single
specimen for accent. Also, don't simply run the bed straight across the
front of the house, ending precisely where the structure ends. Instead, pull
the contours of the foundation planting around the front to link up with
beds and borders on the sides of the house and at the edges of the property.
Avoid Exclusive Use of Evergreen
Too often
you see foundation plantings that consist entirely of evergreens -
sometimes, in the worst examples, of just a single species. The yew is the
plant most often misused in this way, but rhododendrons, azaleas, and pines
(and other conifers) are equally abused. Instead, create a mixed planting of
the year-round interest that consists of deciduous material as well as
evergreens. Small or dwarf cultivars of flowering specimens like spirea,
roses, lilacs, weigela, and viburnums are all excellent additions to the
foundation planting, as are plants like paperback maple (Acer
griseum, for its
exfoliating bark), yellowtwig dogwood (Cornus
sericea, for its
bright-yellow branches in winter), or a golden mock orange (Philadelphus
coronarius
"Areus", for its golden leaves; see sidebar, bottom left). Avoid
green monotony and choose material with attractive foliage, shape,
fragrance, or flower. And don't forget that foundation plantings need not
consist entirely of shrubs: Annuals and perennials make excellent additions
to the foundation, especially when used in masses to dress the front of
taller plantings. Not only do their flowers supply a dash of color, but
their yearly rise and disappearance will also add a touch of welcome variety
to your garden.
Consider color when choosing plants for your yard. Here are two that provide
bloom as well as foliage. The
golden leaves of Philadelphus coronarius "Areus" (near right) give
way in early summer to a profusion of delicate white flowers with
orange-blossom scent (whenceits common name, mock orange). Zones 5 - 8. The
polyantha Rosa "The Fairy" (far right) offers pink buds that open
to large clusters of tiny cupped rosettes from early summer to the first
hard frost. Largely untroubled by pests, "The Fairy" is low and
spreading, making it an excellent ground cover. Zones 4 - 9.
