The street-facing portion of a property or structure. Frontispiece, façade, facade, facade, face, or brow is also used. Front yard, driveway, and walkway: These are all part of your street-facing exterior surface area. Anything within the front yard that does not have a fence around it is considered public space. Public spaces should be kept weed free and provide easy access for people to get in and out of their cars. This includes parking spots, loading zones, and any other areas designated by pavement markings. Items such as mailboxes, planters, and decorative posts should be placed at least 18 inches off the ground to avoid damage from vehicle tires. Backyard, patio, and garden: These are all parts of your property that are not visible from the street. If you have a fenced backyard, only go inside the fence; otherwise, leave these areas undisturbed so you can enjoy them later. Some homeowners may choose to keep items like furniture, toys, and games in the front yard to make their home look more lived-in. However, if you want to sell your home, then these objects should be removed from the front yard.
