20 Front Yard Landscaping Ideas

Hide your A/C unit

Keeping air conditioning units, trash cans and other outdoor equipment out of sight is a common challenge. While they’re important to keep your home cool and comfortable, they can also be a distraction from the overall design of your yard.

Fortunately, there are simple landscaping ideas that can conceal these eyesores.

Planting shrubs around your AC unit is a great solution. These plants act as a visual barrier, protecting the unit from direct sunlight and helping to maintain good airflow.

But it’s important to make sure the plants don’t block the flow of air into the unit or clog it with fallen leaves and debris. Ideally, the plants should be two or three feet away from the unit.
