If the landscaping at the front of your home is barren and there is only grass and weeds, it's time to make a change. You can change the look of the front of your house with some landscaping efforts to make the yard look more aesthetically pleasing.

A lot of the changes you can do on your own. Here are some of the things that you'll want to find at a bulk landscape material store in your area.

Shovel and Edger

In the areas around the house where you want to have mulch, you will want to remove the topsoil. You will want to remove a few inches of soil and dirt for mulch. Also, use an edger around the exterior perimeter for where the mulch will go.

Edging the soil will cut the soil at an angle, keeping the mulch in place and creating neat definitive lines between the mulch and grass. This is a border you will want to have, so get both a shovel and an edger before beginning this project.

Landscape Fabric

Once you remove the topsoil, you will want to put down landscaping fabric. The fabric will stop the mulch from moving, stop grass from regrowing below the mulch, and help to stop the mulch from getting pushed into the dirt. This is easy to roll out and cut into the shape that you need.

Bulk Mulch

One of the fastest ways to change the look of your yard is to add mulch. This will not only add an accent to the house, but it will also provide a housing area for bushes, flowers, trees, and other types of vegetation. Mulch will help to keep the soil moisturized, keep the ground around the roots of your plants cool, and prevent weeds from popping up.

There are many different landscaping options when you choose the plants that you want around the home. If you have large areas that need shrubbery, you may be able to get bushes in bulk.

Pick out the plants that you want before you put the mulch down. You can put down the plants and then put the landscape fabric around it. The mulch will go over the top. Choose a mulch color that will complement your home and will look natural in your area. If you want something with less maintenance, consider increasing the budget and choosing stone instead of mulch.
