Your front yard is the first impression of your home. It sets the tone for your property and can significantly enhance its curb appeal.  In Kentucky, the climate and native foliage offer unique opportunities for front-yard landscaping. From lush lawns to vibrant flower beds, the options are endless.  Kentucky’s climate plays a crucial role in shaping your front yard landscape. The state experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and relatively mild winters.  Choosing the right plants is key to a thriving front yard landscape. Native plants are a great choice because they are already adapted to Kentucky’s climate and soil conditions. They require less maintenance and are more resistant to local pests and diseases.

High winds, heavy rain, and hail can damage or even destroy plants, trees, and lawns.  With the right strategies and a proactive approach, you can minimize the impact of severe weather on your outdoor spaces.

Storms pose a significant threat to your landscaping. High winds can break branches, uproot trees, and scatter debris across your lawn.
