Use the Lowes click ‘n drag to make your design. They also have a how to video.
Hostas come in several different colors of foliage and flowers as well they are extremely easy to maintain and would add some height when the spikes bloom to create a nice walkway.
If your outdoor inspiration needs a little help, here is the tool you need.
Use Lowe’s Landscape and Garden Planner to help build the yard of your dreams. With our design tool, garden and landscape planning are as easy as clicking and dragging.

My computer is acting up and I’m trying to copy and paste the link for Wayside Gardens for you to see the beauty of them. Just put hostas in your search bar and the first URL up I think is Wayside Gardens . Finally I got it.! They have 5 pages.
Good Luck

PS they are perrennials and they multiply quickly so plant them sparce because the next year you will have to divide them.
Hi Karen
I moved your picture into my computer, and edited it, but now…how do I send it to you again…mmm…not good at this…if you have any ideas let me know. Otherwise, I have this picture and notes for you, and I can’t do anything. It is a in Microsoft Publisher, at this point, I worked on the picture in Microsoft Picture-It!
Let me know. I have to go and tend to my son. I can send it tomorrow. Sorry about that. I was going to email you, but if I do that, I still can’t send it, with the type of email service that YAHOO has in here (in my regular Yahoo, it would be okay…so email me if you have an address to keep private and we can hook up the picture!)
Blessings,
Tracy
Lowe’s ? Puhhhleeezzz!
Lowe’s knows not .
Looks too sunny for most hosta , although some would be OK, especially if up against something else .
I’d get rid of most or all of that lawn area between the walk and the driveway . If it was mine , I ‘d get rid of the straight concrete walk , and replace it with a curving one, preferably of pavers, that goes to the driveway . It would end ~ 1/3 of the way in from the street . ( If you divide spaces up into 1/3 ‘s /2/3 , it usually looks better . )
In any event , some sort of upright columner plant(s) should go in that area , to go with the shape of the house . Given the space restrictions , ornamental grass would be my top choice . Around the grass(es) then put some roundy-moundy stuff , such as dwarf conifers, and dwarf barberry . The contrasting forms look good together , and during winter , evergreens & the light brown grass , a good color combination . After that , fill in the remaining space with whatever strikes your fancy .
Suggestions : short shrub roses, daylilies, short grasses such as Blue Fescue , perennial geraniums ( not the Pelargoniums sold as annual geraniums ) yucca , rocks , and maybe hosta . Look around when things are up and growing , and see what you like . In the fall , plant some bulbs behind the perennials . Email me any time , if you have questions . (My regular email is the same as this . Easier, because of no character limit)
The area appears ideal for Rhododenrons as main plants with other underplanting and possibly roses near the street
I am in NZ so not really sure what would be best for your place
Anyway good luck and have sent some photos of some of my gardens. Water feature garden is basically full sun, other gardens are morning or afternoon sun with some shade in the opposite time of day. These gardens are all my own work
I like “Mikeinpo” ideas especially changing footpath to a curving one, it is more appealing as it stops you seeing all of the garden from the street and also reduces the direct view of the house from the street
Beautiful home! Yes, it apprears you need some curb appeal. Have you checked out HGTV.COM for the show called, “Curb Appeal”. They have great ideas.
Another site: Better Homes and Gardens, bhg.com has a free sign up and you can go into the garden section and download plans. This is my favorite for gardening. Good Luck
