With the craziness of May, it’s easy to get in a gardening rut. Finding the time to tend your rosebushes, water your perennials, and mow the yard sometimes seems like more than you can manage. But during the season of graduations, weddings, and family reunions, well-tended gardens are a priority. If you’re looking for a total landscape overhaul, talk to our Jasper garden experts about installing hardscapes and softscapes for your home. If you need a quick fix for a drab landscape, try these 3 simple garden makeover tips.
- Add color. The easiest way to update your landscape is to add a splash of color. Work with the hues in your perennial flowerbeds to add color to window boxes, sidewalks, and bare spots in your garden. If your yard is already overflowing with colorful plants, balance the bright blooms with rich, green bushes from our nursery.
- Use dimensions. Create the illusion of an elaborate landscape by varying the dimensions of your plants. Plant low, broad bushes to balance mature trees around your home, choose flower varieties in multiple heights, and add depth by varying leaf textures.
- Buy garden ornaments. While garden fountains and elegant arbors can transform your landscape, simple outdoor ornaments are an excellent way to update your garden. Highlight colorful plants and add elegance to rich green foliage with birdbaths, hanging lanterns, or tasteful statues. If you’re looking for a quick way to change your garden’s atmosphere, try planting perennials in an old wheelbarrow or a set of painted dresser drawers.
