Mediterranean front yard with an olive tree, lavender beds, terracotta pots with geraniums, gravel path, and a tiered stone fountain
What changed
See a bare builder-grade front yard turn into a sun-washed Mediterranean garden — a mature olive tree anchors the lawn, lavender fills low stone-edged beds, terracotta pots overflow with red geraniums, and a tiered fountain adds gentle sound beside a gravel path. Gravel mulch and drought-tolerant planting cut water use while keeping the courtyard look. Upload your front yard for a free AI renovation preview at LandscapeCraft.ai
