Lawn SwingMost people are concerned about the appearance of their front yards. Have you ever stopped to consider what makes a great looking yard? You know the ones I mean, the yards that make you slow your car down as you past, or the yards that you walk past slowly in the neighborhood. Most of the times these yards are owned by people that take the time to coordinate their landscaping. They have flowers or shrubs that compliment each other and they also have some area of the space that has bursts of color in them at all times. The lawns are mowed well and there is usually a bench or lawn swing to sit on to enjoy the space. This is the type of front yard I wanted to create at our home.
We have a great deal of foot, bike and car traffic past our home because we live on a scenic drive. When we bought our home the previous owner had many perennials planted around the house as well as in a large front flower bed. The flowers were pretty, but they required a great deal of time to keep them weed free. Also the flower beds around the house caused water in the basement area of the house because everything was landscaped in towards the foundation. The year after we moved in we decided that we would take out the front flower bed because it was too large for the space and also the perennials were starting to be over crowded. We thought we would replace the flower bed with a lawn swing. This way we could sit and enjoy the view of the lake. Removing the flower bed involved a great deal of work because it was a raised bed with wooden sides. The sides were easy to remove, however we needed to do a great deal of shoveling to remove the soil. We kept the soil to use as fill around the foundation of the house. I contacted a garden club and gave away the perennials. Once this was completed we leveled the area and planted grass seed. This made the front yard look much larger. We decided that we would place the lawn swing off to the side of the house so it would not obstruct the view from the front windows. We then went shopping for the lawn swing. There is a wide variety to choose from. We wanted to have a lawn swing that would be able to withstand the severe winters that we have. We did not want to find storage for it during the winter months. Because of this we decided to go with a wooden lawn swing. It is very sturdy and the finish on the wood makes it resistant to the elements of cold and snow. It is nice spending time sitting on the lawn swing looking at the lake, rather than weeding the perennials.
