Landscaping Small Entry Beds Near a Side-Entry Garage for Curb Appeal

Narrow beds (3×10 ft) flanking a front door under a side-entry garage driveway are perfect for a formal, low evergreen hedge—boxwood or Taunton yew (Taxus × media 'Tauntonii')—planted at the edges. Fill the interior with seasonal color: snapdragons, marigolds, or other bright annuals. A Japanese maple adds sculpture if the bed isn't south-facing. For more ideas, consult your state extension service (e.g., NCSU for North Carolina) for plant lists and design tips tailored to your zone.
