Fresh Mulch, Trimmed Boxwoods and Vibrant Plantings in McCordsville

A well-kept front yard does a lot of heavy lifting for a home's overall look. But when the beds are overgrown, the mulch is faded, or the planting layout just feels off, the whole property can look neglected - even if the house itself is in great shape. That's exactly the kind of problem we love solving.

Here's what we were working with on this McCordsville home - a beautiful modern farmhouse that just needed the landscaping to catch up with it. The structure itself is sharp. White board and batten, black trim, brick base, a covered porch. It deserved beds that matched that level of detail. So that's what we built.

We laid down fresh dark mulch across the entire front bed, and the contrast it creates against the green is hard to miss. The boxwoods are trimmed tight and round - clean, consistent shapes that give the bed a polished, intentional feel. We brought in red begonias to add color at the base without competing with the home's exterior palette. The window boxes on the porch add one more layer of detail. Every element works together.

That's really what plant design and installation comes down to - making choices that complement each other and the home they surround. It's not just about picking plants you like. It's about scale, color, texture, and how everything reads from the street. When it all comes together, the difference is immediate.

A lawn this healthy, beds this sharp, and a house this clean - it's the kind of curb appeal that makes neighbors stop and look. If your yard isn't quite keeping up with your home, this is the kind of work that changes that.
