The main section of my front yard is ~60' wide x maybe 20' deep. I'm trying to cut down on the amount I need to mow and also beautify my space while taking advantage of the full sun that much of the lawn gets. I love planting zinnias and other flowers so I was considering adding a few raised beds. I'd rather not dig to build an in-ground bed.

I have (2) 8x4x1 green metal raised garden beds - would these look tacky placed on the front lawn? I'm especially concerned in winter months it might look sloppy.
