Recently, we decided to redo the front yard landscaping and add some colorful accents. Below is the before with pinestraw and a little plastic seperater between the sidewalk and the flower beds. Also, you cannot see but there is monkey grass in the little areas next to the driveway.
This is the after! We used black mulch and planted 4 Kale plants. 2 were purple kale and 2 were white kale. Also, we planted 7 caldium bulbs. We hope those come up because we may have planted them too early.
We added new stone pavers along the sidewalk and around the front of the bed. Also a green "A" flag on the stake in the flower bed and the blue South Carolina flag. Y'all knew we had to have one of those!
Just a couple of other things left to do to complete the project. I want to get 1 or 2 tall, colored planters next to the door and maybe painting the door. If you have any suggestions for colors for either let me know. Also, eventually, we want to change all of the door knobs and hardware to brush nickle. So that will change on the front door as well.
Hope you like the changes. There are many more to come!

It looks good so far! I had a lot of luck last year with gerbera daisies on my porch. I had one pink and one orange. They aren't tall though so that might not be what you're looking for. A bright color for the front door would be beautiful!
