Want your outdoor space to look professionally designed? Check out these tips!
Plan for Year Round Appeal
Trees such as Evergreens keep their leaves and needles throughout the year. This in turn ensures there is lots of visual interest to your yard no matter the season. Evergreens also can soften the effect of harsh brick lines of your home, to create a more welcoming space.
Use Curved Lines
Using curved lines over straight lines keeps a landscape feeling natural. This can come from rounded flower beds, or using edging around gardens, the house itself, and sometimes sidewalks and driveways. Installing the edging in creative curves instead of perfectly straight lines adds appeal and character. Edging is permanent, so it enhances the landscape all year long.
Add Native Plants
Adding native plants to your landscape design will help to create a beautiful yet low-maintenance outdoor space. Since these plants thrive in your natural climate, they’ll create healthy and strong fillers with minimal upkeep. Using native plants also helps to create habitats for local birds and critters!
Invest in Quality Soil
Healthy plants come from healthy soil, so make sure you’re providing a solid foundation for your landscape. Selecting a high-quality dirt is important to ensure your plants grow and bloom. Look for nutrient-rich garden soil or prepare your own compost to give your plants a healthy start for the season. Supplement with mulch to hold in moisture, block out weeds, and add more nutrients to the soil.
