Ich habe gerade das erste Zuhause aufgekauft und bin zu dem Punkt gekommen, an dem ich die Front ein bisschen hübscher machen möchte. Wir haben schnell wachsende Absicherungen an der Vorderseite gepflanzt, ich werde dieses Tor schließlich auch entfernen (oder was übrig ist). Ich bin mir nicht sicher, was mit dem Grasfleck in der Mitte oder dem Bett vor dem Fenster zu tun ist.
Wären einige Kletterrosen an der Seite des Ziegels eine absolut schreckliche Idee? Soll ich direkt in den Boden/ Töpfe pflanzen/ ein Bett bauen? Ich mag die Idee, einheimische Arten zu verwenden…
Ehrlich gesagt sind alle Ideen willkommen, danke!

Looks like you have some bulbs coming up underneath the window. You can go on google earth, look at older photos and there might be one of the front garden so you’ll know whats there for summer already. It could be a self seeding riot of colour! Other than that you could just weed and throw a mulch over the top so it looks better if you’re happy with what’s planted there.
It’s a nice space as is that will look better in spring. I’d just be asking what you want from the garden really, I would personally pop an ornamental tree or large perennial in the centre in a dug out circular area – crab apple, magnolia, dwarf maple etc – and plant some bulbs or annuals in the space around it.

And paint the fence of course
You could make a circular bed patch in the middle of the grass square and fill it with verbena, fox gloves, dahlias, sunflower etc. Definitely think a climbing rose would be beautiful on the house. Maybe use sweet pea this year as an annual as a climber will take a few years to establish
Lovely big stretch here! I find best to avoid anything that needs watering in a front garden as there’s never a tap. I’d plant for drought. Stuff like salvias maybe.
Roses would probably do ok but you’d want to water them the first year at least, and in very hot weather. Only plant these in the ground (not pots, you’ll never keep up with the watering). A climber or rambler will go over the fence nicely. Commit to pruning at least twice a year – check the RHS site for advice on how.
I’d slap a weeping dwarf tree in the middle of that lawn.
I would have a look at the nolawns sub on Reddit, some people there have done terrific front gardens. It’s skewed towards the US but you’ll see a lot of design ideas using native planting. For us it would be stuff like guelder rose, honeysuckle (for climbing your fence maybe), ox eye daisy, bugle and maybe stinking hellebores.
Get a climber like clematis or rose to go up the cypress!
I’d start by removing all the grass around the new front hedge you’ve planted. Add some slow release granular fertilizer to the area and cover the bare soil with bark mulch to keep the weeds down. A proper defined border clear of grass or weeds will give it the best start to grow into a dense and healthy hedge.
