Get rid of the lawn

You could design an interesting layout of flower beds with quite broad pathways between which could be gravel.

Do a search on front gardens or flick back through my pics to see how I changed my boring front lawn a couple of months ago.

Is that astilbes on the left?

Your lawn looks great....concentrate on your borders(perhaps)
see my pics front garden..I live in a bungalow also

shouldent there be motorcycle handle bars and bits strewn all over the lawn, that would be fun for bikers,lol

All the bikes and bits are firmly confined to the garage!
