Kerb Appeal That Counts: Front Garden Ideas That Make a Lasting Impression

First impressions matter — and your front garden is the very first thing people see. Whether you’re welcoming guests, boosting your property’s value, or simply want to feel proud every time you walk up the drive, Wicked Gardens is here to help. Based in Lewisham, we specialise in bespoke landscaping solutions that make your home stand out for all the right reasons.

Let’s take a look at how we can elevate your front garden into a smart, stylish space that sets the tone for the rest of your home.


🌿 Why Kerb Appeal Matters

Your front garden does more than look pretty. It:

  • Enhances your property’s value

  • Creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere

  • Reduces noise and pollution from the street

  • Reflects the character of your home

With thoughtful design, even small spaces can make a big statement.


🪴 Front Garden Features That Deliver

Here are some design ideas we often include in our Lewisham landscaping projects:

1. Defined Pathways

A well-laid path not only guides visitors but also adds structure and elegance. We use gravel, natural stone, or clay pavers for durability and visual appeal.

2. Evergreen Planting

Low-maintenance evergreen shrubs like boxwood, lavender, and holly provide year-round colour and shape without constant upkeep.

3. Decorative Edging and Borders

Neat borders frame flowerbeds and keep things tidy. Brick, metal, or timber edging gives your garden a polished look.

4. Driveway and Parking Solutions

Need space for a car? No problem. We design practical and stylish driveways using permeable materials that help with drainage and complement your home’s exterior.

5. Outdoor Lighting

Subtle lighting along the path or around key features adds safety and charm, especially during darker months.


🌸 Planting for Every Season

Worried your front garden will look dull in winter? We select a mix of plants to keep your space vibrant all year:

  • Spring: Tulips, daffodils, and flowering cherry trees

  • Summer: Hydrangeas, lavender, and ornamental grasses

  • Autumn: Japanese maples, sedum, and hebe

  • Winter: Evergreen topiary, cyclamen, and pansies

No matter the month, your front garden will have a welcoming touch of life.


💡 Low-Maintenance Options

If you’re short on time, we’ve got you covered. Our front garden designs can include:

  • Gravel gardens with hardy plants

  • Raised beds and planters

  • Artificial turf for a neat, green look year-round

You get all the impact with minimal upkeep.
