Front Entrance Landscaping Ideas For Every Home

Thoughtful front entrance landscaping ideas to turn your plain walkway into a warm, welcoming approach to your home. At Otten Bros., we design front entries that pair natural stone pathways, layered plantings, and durable hardscaping to boost curb appeal and complement your home’s architecture. Whether you’re starting from a blank slate or refreshing an outdated entry, our design team builds spaces that feel as good to walk through as they look.

Explore a range of front entrance landscaping styles we’ve completed across the Twin Cities. From winding stone pathways and layered garden beds to custom stone patios and retaining walls that add structure without losing warmth. Each design starts with your home’s existing character and works outward. We blend plant selection with hardscape materials that hold up through Minnesota’s seasons. If any of these looks catch your eye, our landscape design and build team can walk you through what’s possible for your own front entrance. Ready to get started? Schedule a consultation with one of our designers to talk through your ideas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Front Entrance

a

How long does a front entrance landscaping project take?

Most front entrance projects take a few days to a few weeks, depending on scope. Simple pathway and planting updates move faster. Projects with retaining walls, patios, or drainage work take longer. Your designer will give you a project timeline before installation begins.

a

How much does front entrance landscaping cost?

Cost depends on the size of the project, materials chosen, and the amount of hardscaping involved. A simple pathway refresh costs less than a full entry redesign with retaining walls and a patio. Our design team will walk you through material options and pricing during your consultation.

a

Is there a warranty on front entrance landscaping projects?

Yes. Every Otten Bros. installation includes a warranty on our design and construction work, along with a warranty on the plants we install.

a

Yes. We design front entrances for properties of every size, from compact city lots to larger west metro homes. Whether you need a simple front walkway plan or a multi-phase redesign, our team tailors the project to fit your space.

a

What is the design process like?

We start with a consultation at your home to discuss your goals and budget. From there, our designers build a custom plan and walk you through the materials, plants, and installation steps. Once you approve the plan, our crew handles installation and keeps you updated throughout.

a

Will my new front entrance landscaping hold up through Minnesota winters?

Yes. We select materials and plants suited to Minnesota’s climate, including freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads. Our stonework and retaining walls are built to stay structurally sound through the seasons.

 

From intricate, multi-phase landscape projects to the simplest front walkway plan, our team of highly skilled landscape designers will meet with you to create a beautiful, functional outdoor space. Whether you're looking for custom retaining walls, a paver walkway design, or low-maintenance front yard landscaping, we provide tailored solutions to enhance your home.
