- Front garden walkway and planting beds
The goal
Make the walkway's right-angle turn visually clear while separating the path, shrub beds, and adjoining lawn.

Spaced shrubs sit in mulched beds on both sides, with narrow edging marking the lawn boundary.
The finished result
Repeated shrubs and exposed mulch give the compact garden a consistent border without obscuring the paving.
