Have you seen some front porch seating areas pop up in the neighborhood? They are a creative solution to drought tolerant landscaping and the blazing, late afternoon backyard sun. There are several other less obvious benefits to the front yard patio trend including improved neighborhood safety due to more ‘eyes on the street’ and increasing home value with a welcoming front entrance. Also a great spot to get lost in the shade!
