# Give your front yard the curb appeal it is missing

The front yard is the first thing visitors and buyers see, and often the most neglected: a strip of lawn, overgrown shrubs, a narrow path and a dark porch. Small changes there have outsized effect, from a wider path to planting that frames the door. In ImageQuarry you upload a photo of the front of your house and ask for those changes one at a time, keeping each version so you can compare a tidy refresh with a full redesign.

Curb appeal concepts. Property lines, sidewalks and local rules are confirmed in real life.

## How to plan a front yard with ImageQuarry

1. **Photograph from across the street** Take the photo from where a visitor would first see the house, with the whole facade and front yard in frame.
2. **Clear first, then add** Ask for overgrown shrubs to be removed and the lawn edged, then add new planting in the next version.
3. **Lead people to the door** Ask for a wider or curved path, edged with low planting, and lights along it.
4. **Compare refresh and redesign** Keep a light-touch version and a bolder one, and compare them side by side.

## Front yard requests to start from

- **Frame the entrance**: Planting either side of the door and a pair of pots make an entrance feel intentional.
- **A wider path**: Narrow paths look mean; a wider one in a material that suits the house looks welcoming.
- **Layered planting**: Low plants at the front, taller behind, give depth to a flat yard.
- **Light the way**: Path and porch lights make a home look cared for at night.
- **Refresh the door**: A painted front door and new house numbers are small changes with big effect.
- **Remove the lawn**: Gravel and drought-tolerant planting replace a struggling lawn in dry climates.

## What gives a front yard curb appeal

- **A clear route to the door**: Visitors should see at once how to reach the entrance. A path that leads somewhere else or disappears under shrubs confuses the eye.
- **Scale planting to the house**: Tiny plants in front of a large house look lost; huge shrubs hide windows. Ask for planting that frames rather than covers.
- **Tidy edges do most of the work**: Edged lawns, clean paths and trimmed hedges improve curb appeal more than new plants alone.
- **The door is the focal point**: A painted door, good lighting and a pair of planters draw attention where it belongs.
- **Every change is a new version**: Ask for one change on the selected photo and ImageQuarry creates a new version, keeping the earlier ones.
- **Keep the house, change the yard**: Name the house, windows and roof as things to keep. Requests can say what to keep; review each version to see how closely it did.

## Curb appeal changes and how to ask

| Change | Effect | Example request |
|---|---|---|
| Path | Guides visitors | A curved stone path from the sidewalk to the door |
| Planting | Softens the facade | Low hedges along the path and flowering shrubs by the windows |
| Lighting | Night appeal | Wall lanterns either side of the door |
| Door and trim | Focal point | A black front door and white trim |
| Lawn edge | Neatness | A crisp lawn edge along a gravel border |

## What is AI front yard design?

AI front yard design is picturing the front of a house with new planting, paths, lighting and entrance details, by uploading a photo or describing the property and asking an image model for changes in words. ImageQuarry keeps each idea as a version.

_It is not a survey or a landscaping plan. Property lines, sidewalks, drainage and any local rules on front yards are checked in the real world._

## Front yard questions

### Can I improve my curb appeal from a photo?

Yes. Upload a photo of the front of the house, select it and describe the change you want. A new version appears and the original is kept.

### Can I try a new front door color too?

Yes. Ask for it in a separate version so you can compare the yard changes with and without the new door color.

### How do I avoid changing the house itself?

List the house, roof and windows as things to keep, then review the new version against the original.

### Can I show a buyer-ready version?

You can create and download a concept, but a concept is not the real house. If you use one when selling, say it is a concept.

### Can I base it on a street I like?

Attach a photo of a house you admire as a reference. References guide the result; check each version to see how closely it follows that look.

### How do I keep refining one design?

Each request builds on the version you select, so you can change the path, then the planting, then the lights without starting again.
