Homeowners looking to revamp their landscape can consider these simple and affordable landscaping solutions to give the outdoors a new look and add to their beauty and functionality. These landscaping upgrades require less time and money than a whole-yard landscape design.
Flower bed
A flower bed easily adds a burst of color to the landscaping, and a flower bed border is customizable and comes with endless possibilities. Landscaping professionals combine different colors of flowers and define the border with stones, bricks, or fences. Whether annual or perennial, a flower bed can add lasting beauty to the landscape.
Install edging
Edging creates a clear barrier between grass and flower beds or around shrubs and trees. Brick or stone edging can create attractive focal points and prevent plants from encroaching on other lawn areas.
Add a fire pit
Another landscaping project is adding a fire pit to serve as the focal point for get-togethers and events. Fire pits are attractive and highly functional. Builders use rocks, stones, or source bricks and stack them in the desired shape.
Create a pathway
A pathway can add visual interest to the landscaping and hugely impact the home’s curb appeal. Creating a pathway is budget-friendly and does not take long. A landscaping professional plans the path, digs a shallow trench, and adds stones, wood planks, or other durable materials. Homeowners can choose materials on hand or select from the landscaper’s offerings. Always select a material that can withstand time and elements.
Replace old mulch
A layer of mulch enhances the lawn’s appearance and promotes healthy tree, plant, and shrub growth. A mulch ring will prevent weeds, help the soil retain moisture, and insulate the soil against extreme temperatures. Most landscaping professionals add a 2 to 4-inch mulch layer to give the landscape rich color and texture.
Plant new trees
Planting new trees and bushes is an excellent way to improve the landscape. However, avoiding planting trees too close to the home or nearby walls is best. Planting new trees is a wise investment that can pay off well.
Add ground cover plants
A ground cover can be a beautiful landscape addition and complement taller plants and shrubs. Ground cover plants grow fast and need minimal maintenance. They grow horizontally and blend in perfectly with the landscape.
Illuminate with outdoor lighting
Lighting can create a warm ambiance and make the outdoors ideal for evening parties and family gatherings. A professionally designed lighting scheme can elevate the backyard space to where homeowners choose to entertain. Options include solar-powered light fixtures that require no wiring along the pathway or other landscape areas to illuminate the outdoors without spending additional money to power the lights.
