Your front garden is more than just a patch of grass — it’s the first impression your home makes. Whether you’re in London, Kent, Surrey or beyond, a well-designed front garden adds kerb appeal, enhances property value, and sets the tone for the rest of your home.

At Wicked Gardens, we create bespoke landscaping solutions that blend beauty, function, and personality — and your front garden is the perfect place to start.

🌱 Why Your Front Garden Deserves More Attention

Most homeowners focus on back gardens for privacy, but a beautiful front garden can:

• Make your home look more inviting

• Deter unwanted foot traffic

• Provide practical benefits like extra parking or bin storage

• Improve drainage and reduce urban heat

And with the right design, you don’t need a massive budget or space to make a big impact.

✅ 1. Define a Clear Entrance

Your path and entrance should guide the eye and the visitor. Whether it’s a straight, curved, or stepping-stone path, it should be well-lit and framed by planting or edging for a polished look.

Wicked Tip: Use low-maintenance edging plants like lavender, thyme, or boxwood for year-round structure and scent.

✅ 2. Keep It Low-Maintenance (But Lush)

Busy Londoners need smart planting. Opt for evergreens, hardy perennials, and seasonal colour that doesn’t demand daily upkeep. Gravel beds, bark mulch, and ground covers also help reduce weeding.

Wicked Tip: Raised planters or neatly clipped hedges can add structure and sophistication to smaller front spaces.

✅ 3. Add Practical Features Without Sacrificing Style

Bin stores, bike sheds, and driveways are necessary but can often be unsightly. At Wicked Gardens, we design discreet, stylish storage solutions that blend into the landscape without dominating it.

Wicked Tip: Green roofs on bin stores or climbing plants on fences instantly soften functional areas.

✅ 4. Think About Lighting

Outdoor lighting adds safety, security, and a warm welcome after dark. Use solar uplighters on feature plants, low-level lighting along the path, or wall-mounted lanterns by the door.

Wicked Tip: Avoid harsh lighting – warm-toned LEDs create a softer, more inviting glow.

✅ 5. Upgrade Your Driveway or Paving

Old concrete or uneven paving can drag down the whole look. Permeable paving, cobbles, or resin-bound surfaces offer style, safety, and drainage all in one.

Wicked Tip: We can install modern paving that complements your home’s exterior — and complies with London’s sustainable drainage guidelines.
