Skillful landscaping transforms this ordinary, small Cape Cod house into a cozy, quaint cottage that has instant curb appeal. Relying on an exuberant mix of flowering shrubs and perennials, the design evokes the mood of a friendly country home whose bountiful gardens burst with colorful flowers. Notice how the designer linked the front walk to the driveway with a few pleasing turns and a change of levels rather than dissecting the small property with a front walk leading straight to the street. This layout adds visual interest to the small yard while making it seem broader. The white picket fence adds to the cottage-garden charm while giving the landscape some depth and a feeling of intimacy. Massed together into several large planting beds, graceful trees, flowering shrubs, ground covers, and perennials border the house and entryway to create an ever-changing informal garden setting. Small boulders add a naturalistic character reminiscent of New England, and also provide a year-round structure to the beds. Planted along the base of the fence, perennials add color during the summer and soften the fence without hiding it. A deciduous shrub with strong spring color highlights the corner of the fenced garden, and evergreen flowering specimens brighten the corners of the house. Also shown here is home plan HPB661 by Home Planners. To balance the weight of the entry bed and paving, the designer placed a small tree and planting bed at the front corner of the driveway. These plants provide a colorful greeting as guests and family members approach the house.
