A vibrant purple-red ornamental tree stands as the show-stopping focal point in this front yard, surrounded by drought-tolerant plants that echo its bold color. Gently curving mounds of gravel set a warm, understated stage for natural boulders, soft grasses, and hardy succulents, creating an appealing mix of texture and form. Low-maintenance shrubs and pops of vivid blooms round out the design, seamlessly blending function and beauty. The result is a contemporary, water-wise landscape that complements the home’s architecture while offering eye-catching curb appeal.
