front yards

Plots before houses

Front yards are the areas of land between a house and the street, typically maintained with grass, landscaping, or gardens.

In American suburban culture, the front yard is often a display of neighborly respectability—mowed lawns, trimmed hedges, seasonal decorations.

Kids played in the front yard while their parents watched from the porch.
