My front landscape planter alongside the garage has a deep vacuous hole exposing the foundation under the garage. How can I fix this?

Fill it in.

I want to redo my front lawn and maybe build a walk way of some sort...where can i get ideas from?

Go to a place like Lowe's--they have racks of books like these with color photos and diagrams and some very detailed directions. You can also go to a nursery or landscape place for ideas. The people there are very helpful. You might want to try this first: drive through some of the neighborhoods in your area (especially where you'd like to live) to get ideas.

[EDIT] I'm in the middle of doing this. Once I got several ideas I used colored pencils and graph paper to map out my thoughts. I realized I needed prices so that was the first step. You might want to do the walkway first if you're using slabs of stone which can get pricey. Plus, unless you can get the sand for underneath and spread it by yourself, you'll need to hire someone. Flowers and trees could come next year. Hint: in the fall nurseries reduce prices on annuals, bushes, shrubs, trees and bulbs--great time to buy. I found nurseries are better than catalogs because the nursery's plants are grown for your climate and water conditions.

[EDIT] BE aware your garden areas won't begin to look like the pictures--they remove the old plants and literally cram in new plants fresh from the nursery when they're doing a photo shoot. That's why all the photos look so great. Be aware certain magazines cater to the West Coast which may not be suitable for plants in your area.

I have a huge front yard. Its divided in half by my drive way. On one side is a large grassy corner with a stop sign and a speed limit sign in the tip of it. Its just too plain but I'm not sure how to landscape it. Please send me any links of pictures or explain your ideas. There are a lot of kids that walk the neighborhood and cut my corner so I can't do anything like a pond.

Please send me any ideas!

you could make a flower bed in the corner and plant a couple of nice trees in your yard, maybe dogwood or crape myrtle.

I need to fix my front yard and transform it to a desert landscape. Currently the front yard is full of dirt. I've looked at websites but can't find specifics of what I need to do. I need ideas that are not costly. Any websites would be appreciated. I am trying to do it myself.

You've got the good kind of earth, add alot of rocks and mix it with the soil and buy some cactus seeds and sow them and you will have baby cactuses or you can buy cactuses and succulents and plant them in and this will make your desert landscape. Remember pour soil and very little water and alot of sunlight is the key to growing cactuses.

my front yard is like 5 feet by 5 feet with a medium evergreen. i want to landscape but i'm not sure what to do - if i should have just grass or something else? any ideas?

a water figure with sod,flowers or theme
that has some association for the area that your home occupies . Your house should extend to your front yard.
Lighting is another consideration .
