If you look after your yard just right, it can be the most beautiful part of your home. When ignored or not tended properly, it becomes an unsightly area that you’d always want to keep locked away whenever visitors come over. Today, we seek to ensure that the former is the case as we look at how to beautify your yard.
Here are a few tips to steer you in the right direction:
1. Pressed for Space? Use Heights to Your Advantage
A small yard often looks congested and unappealing, but you can change that by incorporating plant layers of varying heights. Grow taller shrubs around your house and then use progressively decreasing varieties of the same plant as you go farther out.
2. Keep Your Tools Organized and Serviced
It makes for an untidy look when garden tools are left carelessly lying around in your yard, so set aside a designated (and beautiful) place to store them. An alluring caddy or a beguiling woven basket affords a great way to do that. Also, keep garden tools sharp for neat pruning work.
3. Soaking is of the Essence
If you want to get the best out of your lawn or plants, then you need to provide them with the tools they need to blossom e.g. water. A good soaking is the best way to go when it comes to water provision, as this way, the water penetrates deeper and is not just lost at the surface like with regular sprinkling.
4. Make the Most of Your Garden Shed
The shed is essentially the equivalent of a factory’s workshop to a yard. It should be a place where you can do all the dirty work and consequently ought to be equipped with a work area which you can build yourself. Incorporate many cutting surfaces for flower work and a sink to clean up afterwards. You can also make hanging rests on the walls for rakes, hang brooms, and other gardening tools.
5. Let Nature Lend You a Helping Hand
Butterflies. Aren’t they just the most beautiful creatures to look at? Well, you can ensure your garden is always swarming with these flying pieces of eye candy by majorly planting the flowers they love namely:
- sunflowers
- hollyhocks
- coneflowers
- nasturtiums
Any plant with a long blooming cycle is like a magnet for these gorgeous insects.
6. Diversity is Key
If your garden is only filled with generic green plants of a single variety, then it can make for a boring appearance quite frankly. Therefore, do not be afraid to mix it up a bit. Combine different plant species (of varying shapes) and several flowers as well to add a bit of much-needed diversity and to make your garden enthralling.
