There are
many ways to bring color or life to your backyard. Plants are an easy addition and depending on
your choices, some will flower certain times of the year and others all year –
depending on climate. By adding some
raised planters around the edges or pathways of your landscape, the plants can
easily be maintained and drip lines can be incorporated ensuring the plants
survival during dry periods.
If you have a backyard that could use some boundaries,
adding a fence is sure to change it up. If
using a wood or prefab material, there are several options for types, stains or
paint color. If needing something with
more sound abatement, than a concrete fence is your solution. This is also available in color blends and
block size options adding great color, texture and style. With the new fencing in place, feel free to
decorate, hang plants or add lighting to bring more color in.
Adding a patio space is another way to add color. Add
areas in original or formal shapes as well as flowing pathways. Place two sided walls on top of the patio to
create a new outdoor room. From natural stone materials to standard
blocks, the selection is sometimes overwhelming so visit your local supplier to
find something that fits your style and budget.
Still not
sure you are ready to tackle it on your own? Hire a landscape designer to help
you formulate a plan and make sure that when it comes time to build, that the
contractor that has been trained in the products he is installing so that your
project turns out just like you dreamed.
