Enchanting Front Yard Design Plan
Adding curb appeal to your house adds value, but it doesn’t need to be complicated. Here is a simple design that creates an enchanting atmosphere. Solar lights line the driveway and front patio to give light in the evening. A small bush has been placed in front of the house to add some depth and interest to the yard.
A maple tree has been placed on the front yard to serve two purposes. The first purpose is to provide shade in the summer, which will help to keep the house cooler during those hot months. The second purpose is to add privacy. A wishing well has been placed between the maple tree and solar lights to add to the atmosphere.
Overall, this design is low maintenance. If desired, flowers could be added to the base of the wishing well. They will look beautiful, plus you will be able to bring freshly cut flowers inside your house all summer long.
Different Types of Solar Lights

Since these string lights are solar powered, you are not limited to where you can place them. Perfect for trees, along fences, arbors and trellises.
