Mixed Textures for Modern Entrance

This landscape design blends natural and modern elements to complement the contemporary home. Along the stone retaining wall and entry steps, evergreen shrubs and conifers provide year-round structure, while heuchera, ferns, and hostas add seasonal color and texture. Boulders are used as accents, tying the plantings back into the rock wall, and ornamental grasses bring movement and softness. Clean mulch borders and decorative gravel give the space a polished, low-maintenance look. On the side of the house, a minimalist bed of river rock with repeating black mondo grass mirrors the home’s sleek lines and industrial finishes, while the wood screening and stonework add warmth and balance. The overall effect is a cohesive, modern landscape that feels both structured and inviting.
