Elevate your space and boost your street appeal with functional front yard landscaping that demands appreciation and prioritises privacy.  Envision a space that turns heads from the street, offers privacy from passers-by, and gives you a pocket of quiet calm to enjoy from inside your home.

A well-designed, functional front yard doesn’t just look good, it works hard for you. With ModularWalls, it’s easy to transform limited space into a series of purposeful, stylish zones which blend form and function.

Step 1: Privacy with purpose

Modern front yard landscaping is all about smart segmentation. Perfect for hiding those less aesthetic essentials like bins, pool pumps, and air conditioners without sacrificing street appeal.

When space is at a premium, SlimWall® will be your best friend. Its sleek, space saving design makes it perfect for narrow front yards. Unlike bulky brick fences, SlimWall provides a contemporary look without compromising usable space, leaving you with more room to create zones with intent.

Want something even more robust for that added protection and style? EstateWall® delivers a bold masonry-style appearance that makes an immediate impression, setting the stage for sophisticated and highly functional front yard landscaping design. Enjoy your personal front yard oasis with ModularWalls, without the worry of passers-by looking or listening in.

“The realisation and decision to fence in the front yard just made sense. […] It also gave an extra level of privacy and security, restricting access to the front door and windows.” Brad and Victoria, Shades of White

Step 2: Front yard living

Embrace your front yard as a social space. Think comfortable outdoor furniture, warming fire pits for winter and coastal inspired pools for summer. Design a space you want to spend time in, and consider using structural greenery to enhance zones.

This front yard landscaping from Three Birds Renovations’ House 17, creates the perfect private zone. Working with the homeowners desire for more security and privacy, they transformed the front yard with ModularWalls, creating a practical, functional space with a decorative statement that complements the house facade, while reducing noise from the street.

“It really is so solid and so beautiful, it feels like a retreat for the homeowners. Honestly it just feels so safe, secure and relaxing in here.” Lana, Three Birds Renovations.

  • Letterboxes: Sleek, built-in solutions that blend with the wall’s design.
  • Intercoms: For added security and convenience.
  • Gates: Creates a seamless and secure entry point to your property.

Allow your ModularWalls to make your front yard more than just visually appealing, but intelligent, efficient, and tailored to your lifestyle.
