On a residential block of land a front yard (United States, Canada, Australia) or front garden (United Kingdom, Europe) or front lawn is the portion of land between the street and the front of the house, a type of yard.〔(''The Language of Real Estate'' ) by John W.

==Features==
While the front yard's counterpart, the backyard, is often dominated by utilitarian features like vegetable gardens, tool sheds, and clothes lines, the front yard is often a combination decorative feature and recreation area.〔(''The Spaces Between Buildings'' ) by Larry Ford (JHU Press, 2000)〕 It is more commonly landscaped for display and is the usual place for display elements such as garden gnomes,〔(''Folklore'' 115:1, April 2004 ), front-page photograph of a front garden display of garden gnomes in Llanberis, North Wales〕 plastic flamingos,〔''The Flamingo in the Garden: American Yard Art and the Vernacular Landscape'' by Colleen J. Sheehy (Garland Publishing, 1998)〕〔(''South Florida Folklife'' ) by Tina Bucuvalas, Peggy A. Bulger, and Stetson Kennedy (University Press of Mississippi, 1994) p. 225: "Bringing home a plastic flamingo for the front yard is as much a part of a South Florida vacation ..."〕 and yard shrines such as "bathtub Madonnas".〔("Yard Shrines and Sidewalk Altars of New York's Italian-Americans" ) by Joseph Sciorra, ''Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture'' 3 (1989) 185–98: such shrines are also placed on the stoop and sidewalk on feast days.〕 An article on London suburbs describes a "model" front garden in Kenton: "The grass ... is neatly mown. There is a flowering cherry and a privet hedge, behind which lurks a plaster gnome."〔("Non-Plan Revisited: Or the Real Way Cities Grow: The Tenth Reyner Banham Memorial Lecture" ) by Paul Barker, ''Journal of Design History'' 12:2 (1999) p. 99.〕
Depending on climate, local planning regulations or size, a front yard may feature a lawn or grassed area, a driveway or footpath or both and gardens or a vegetable patch or potted plants.
