New Kensington, PA, front yard tabbed best in the nation [View all]
Kevin Prall and his husband, Layne Bennett, 63, an architectural designer, bought a house on Victoria Avenue in New Kensington, PA, in 2011. In the spring of 2012, Prall got to work on the yard, where there had been only grass, a hedge and a couple of azalea bushes.
“I knew this whole yard was going to transition,” he said. After seven years, Prall has a front yard that makes people driving by slow down, stop and stare in wonder. Now, it’s been recognized as the best front yard in America.
Prall emerged as the winner of Better Homes & Gardens’ first “America’s Best Front Yard” contest. His yard was among 10 finalists chosen from more than 900 entries.
“We wanted to celebrate our homes’ curb appeal,” Executive Editor Rachel DeSchepper said. “Our front porches and front yard gardens are the first view into your home’s creative personality and, rather than have all the beauty tucked away privately in the backyard, we wanted to showcase welcoming front yards.”
