Your yard can be considered a blank canvas for you to release your creativity and showcase your green thumb skills. Your landscape design will be something that all those passing by will have an opportunity to enjoy. The landscape you design can be a reflection of your passion and personality.
Yard Work Takes Time
If you plan to do the upkeep in your yard, you’ll need to determine how much time you have available to maintain a specific landscape design. Mowing grass, deadheading flowers, and watering plants take time.
If your yard is expansive and your time-limited, you might want to consider incorporating hardscape areas, mulched areas, or natural areas in your yard design. You can then add plants and flowers according to the amount of time you have to devote to their care.
Adding Trees to Your Yard
Trees can be a visually impressive feature in your yard. Depending on the type of trees you include in your design, you can have a variety of colour and texture in your yard throughout the year.
Trees can also help you save money on your heating and cooling bills. It’s best to leave the tree planting and trimming to professionals from Schulhoff Tree & Lawn Care Inc. or a similar provider near you who have the knowledge and equipment to provide the best care and maintenance for the trees. You can showcase your green thumb skills in the flower beds.
Planting Flowers
You can save yourself some energy and possibly some money if you take the time to plan a design for your yard. You may want to have several sizes and shapes of flower beds, or plant flowers along a walkway or under a tree.
Before you shop for flowers, you may want to select a colour scheme to concentrate on. Knowing the growth habits of flower varieties will assure that one type doesn’t overshadow another.
Garden Structures
Fences can add beauty to your yard and protect your flower beds. Garden structures such as a gazebo, garden arch, or pergola add beauty to a landscape design. A gazebo gives you a place to showcase gorgeous hanging baskets. A pergola or arch also provides a place for magnificent climbing vines.
Gardening can be both a relaxing and refreshing hobby for those with a green thumb. A beautiful yard is something you can enjoy yourself and a visual treat you provide for your neighbours and those who drive or walk by your home.
