Tired Of Your Landscaping? 2 Tips To Change Things Up

15 October 2020 by Tiffany Gonzales

It is common to get tired of landscaping especially if it has not been changed for many years. Fortunately, there are many ways you can change things up to make your landscaping look more beautiful and you will enjoy it much more. Keep reading so you can get started on this project.

Replace Perennial Flowers

If you have perennial flowers planted, it may be time to remove them and plant some new perennials. Once perennials get over a few years old they may start to fade anyway. There are a variety of perennials in different colors and sizes. Some types you can choose from include:

• Black-eyed Susan
• Coneflower
• Daylilies
• Sage
• Yarrow
• Iris

These are just a few perennials you can choose from. The main thing is to purchase flowers that grow well in your area.

You can grow flowers in front of your home or build a small or large flower garden. Flower gardens can change things up, and you can put a beautiful edging around the flower garden. Edging will also keep weeds out of the garden. 

Hire a Landscape Contractor

You can hire a landscape contractor to completely redesign your landscaping for you. This can make things go much quicker and easier for you. Before they get started, they will sit down with you and ask you how much you plan to spend. This way, they will not go over your budget.

The contractor can help you choose new flowers and tell you the best place to plant them. You may want to plant some new bushes or replace the bushes that you currently have. The hydrangea is one bush that has beautiful large flowers. The rose bush is also a good choice as roses will grow from spring until the first frost and they are beautiful to look at.

The landscape contractor may suggest planting some trees if you do not have enough of them in your yard. They can install a new pathway for you and install landscape lighting to brighten things up at night. 

A new patio can be part of your landscaping. This will give you and your family a place to sit outside and enjoy the weather or dine outside if the patio is large enough. You may consider having a water statue near the patio so you can listen to water running. A bench or fire pit are other choices for a landscape redesign. 

Talk with the landscape contractor about this information, and they can give you many more tips for residential landscape design.
