Front garden ideas, on your own front garden.
The best front garden ideas are ones that lift the whole house but still leave room for bins, bikes and the car. Upload a photo of your front garden, pick a look, and see the idea on your own plot – kerb appeal you can actually picture, not someone else's front garden.

BeforeFront garden ideas that work for real life
A front garden has a hard job: it is the first thing anyone sees, but it also has to swallow bins, a path, often a parking space, and cope with being seen every single day of the year. The best front garden ideas balance kerb appeal with all that practicality – and the only way to know if an idea works is to see it on your actual frontage.
Upload a photo and the design keeps what has to stay – the drive, the path, the bin store – and reimagines the planting around them, so you get ideas that fit your real front garden rather than a magazine's.
The ideas that lift a front garden
Smart front gardens lean on tidy evergreen structure that looks good all year, a scented plant or two by the door to welcome you in, and low, easy planting that never sprawls across the path or the parking. A small tree or a pair of clipped shapes either side of the door adds instant presence.
Because front gardens are seen in passing and rarely fussed over, the ideas that work best are handsome and low-effort – colour and structure without a weekly job list.
From an idea to a plan you can plant
When a design looks right, unlock its planting plan: every plant named, how many to buy, where each goes, and a flowering calendar so the front of your home looks cared-for in every season.
Your first design is free, so you can try front garden ideas on your own plot before spending anything. Professional garden designers often charge over £1,000 for a full planting plan.

How does the AI garden design work?
Upload a photo of your garden or a single border, and tell us what you'd like: refresh your borders, keeping your garden's shape, or redesign the whole space with new layout, paths and planting. Pick a style, and we generate a photorealistic redesign of your actual garden. When you love one, unlock its planting plan – every plant, how many to buy, and where each goes.
Are the plants real – can I actually buy and plant them?
Yes. Every design can become a planting plan of real, available UK plants, with quantities, each plant's mature height and spread, where it goes and a month-by-month flowering guide. The plans are built on real horticultural data and shaped by a professional gardener – not generic AI guesses – so the garden in the picture is a garden you can genuinely plant.
Is the first design really free, and what does it cost after?
Your first design is genuinely free, with no card required. After that, subscriptions start at £19 a month. The professional planting plan is a separate one-off you only buy if you want to make a design real.
Can it keep my driveway and bin space?
Yes. You mark what has to stay – the drive, the path, the bins – and the design works the planting around them, so you get kerb appeal without losing the practical bits a front garden needs.
