Thoughtful Front Yard Landscaping for Lasting Results

Your front yard sets the tone for your entire property. It’s the first thing people notice, and it plays a major role in curb appeal and overall home value. At Arenas Landscaping & Construction, we design and build front yard landscapes that are clean, functional, and built to hold up in local conditions.

We work with homeowners throughout the greater Dayton and Miami Valley area, including Dayton, Centerville, Kettering, Springboro, Bellbrook, Xenia, Vandalia, Waynesville, and Yellow Springs. Every front yard is planned around real site conditions like soil type, drainage, slope, and access, not generic layouts that don’t fit the property.

Why front yard landscaping matters

In our experience, most homeowners reach out for one of a few common reasons:

    • Their front yard looks outdated or poorly maintained
    • Drainage problems are causing standing water or erosion
    • The front entry doesn’t feel welcoming or defined
    • The landscape doesn’t match the style of the home or neighborhood
    • They want to improve curb appeal and long-term property value

A well designed front yard makes a home feel complete. It also improves access, safety, and usability over time, not just how the property looks from the street.

Front Yards Reimagined by Our Team

Examples of front yard landscapes we’ve completed for local homes

Front Yards Designed for Southwest Ohio Conditions

Front yard landscaping in this area comes with its own set of challenges. Clay-heavy soils, poor drainage, freeze and thaw cycles, and tight access are common, especially in established neighborhoods.

We design front yards specifically for these conditions. That means proper grading, reliable drainage solutions, solid base preparation, and materials that can handle seasonal weather changes. The goal is a landscape that looks right when it’s finished and continues to perform year after year.

Explore Front Yard Design Ideas With Our AI Landscape Tool

One of the biggest challenges with front yard landscaping is picturing how everything will come together. To help with that, we offer an AI landscape design visualizer.

You can upload a photo of your front yard, choose the features you’re thinking about, and see concept images generated directly on your own property. It’s a practical way to explore different layouts, compare options, and get a clearer sense of what’s possible before moving forward with a final plan.

The visualizer also provides a rough budget range based on the elements you select, which helps set expectations early and makes the planning process easier and more confident.

Real Front Yard Makeovers

Many homeowners reach out to us because their front yard feels incomplete, overgrown, or disconnected from the rest of the property. With a clear plan and proper installation, the change is noticeable right away.

Clients often tell us the space feels safer to walk through, the entry looks more inviting, and the home has a stronger presence from the street. Those results come from taking the time to plan correctly, build on a solid foundation, and pay attention to the small details that make everything come together.

Front Yard Landscaping Costs in the Dayton Area

Front yard landscaping costs can vary quite a bit in this region. Factors like site access, grading needs, drainage work, and material selection all affect the final scope and budget.

To help homeowners plan realistically, we’ve put together a detailed landscaping price guide based on real projects we’ve completed locally. It outlines what different investment ranges typically include and helps set clear expectations before the design process begins.

Salvador and Arenas Landscaping did a fantastic job for us! I was in the process of moving into my new home and noticed the work they were doing on my neighbor's yard. I asked if they could perform some magic on my yard as soon as they had availability, because my yard was neglected for some time by the previous owners. The very next morning Salvador and his crew were at my property trimming, edging, removing trees and laying down a good 6 yards of beautiful black mulch. I was amazed with the transformation in such a short time. All of the clipping and waste was cleaned up all in the sweltering heat. I can't recommend Arenas Landscaping enough! They aren't cheap, but fair for the work they do.
