The Best Places to Find Inspiration For Your Yard Design
Do you want a beautiful garden and backyard entertainment space that is filled with flowers and large trees? Do you want a landscape design that promotes relaxation and enjoyment? Do you dream of these things, but also have little knowledge of gardening? Many homeowners dream of a green filled yard, but lack the experience that is needed to create one. You can gather a variety of landscaping ideas from the following places.
The internet
The internet is full of images and DIY garden ideas. You can learn how to grow or plant almost anything from the internet, along with step by step instructions and images to accompany the instructions. Approximately 83% of Americans think having a yard is important and 90% of those with a yard think it is important that it is also well maintained. You will find a variety of online bloggers, social media sites, and pinned images to help you build the garden of your dreams.
Neighbors yards
You can gather a lot of inspiration from your neighbor?s lawns. Look for flowers, plants, and trees that you enjoy. Ask them what they are and then do additional research on how to plant and care for them. However, remember to always choose landscaping items that do not require too much maintenance. If you are new to gardening, it may be best to stick to plants and flowers that do not require a lot of upkeep. If you are insistent on high maintenance gardening items, consider hiring landscaping and design companies to perform the upkeep duties.
Visit the local garden centers
Local garden centers and nurseries are full of inspiration. Simply take a walk through the gardens and select the items that you enjoy. It is even possible that your local landscaping and design company has their own inventory selection. The good thing about shopping for landscaping items this way is that it is also likely that the landscaping and design company includes instructions or ideal environments for each plant. You can choose items that complement one another and that are easy to maintain.
Keep flowers and plants separate
Some people plant flowers to increase the view of their yard. Some people grow gardens to have access to their own food supply. If you choose to do both, it is important to keep the two types of plants separate, for the best results. Food gardening and flower gardening were the most popular gardening activities last year. About one out of three households participated in food gardening (36%) or flower gardening (34%). Households spent an estimated $3.6 billion growing vegetables, fruit, berries and herbs, and $2.7 billion on flower gardening. Work with your local landscaping and design company on creating a garden that is appropriately separated for the best results.
Hire a landscape and design company
Finally, you can achieve a professional landscape design by working with a landscaping and design company. Landscaping companies are familiar with the best plants, layouts, and gardens to improve the overall look and value of your yard. They can create the perfect outdoor living space, based on your requirements and preferences. They can also usually work within many different budgets. Hiring a professional landscaping design company is the best way to return a higher ROI, which is important for resale value. About 97% of real estate agents recommended landscaping as a top five home improvement recommendation responding that a homeowner can expect a 215% return on investment.
Summer is a season that many homeowners spend outdoors. However, if your outdoor area is lacking in landscaping design, you may not enjoy your time outdoors. Improve the look of your yard by implementing landscaping design ideas that you find on the internet, at local landscaping supply stores, using inspiration from your neighbors, and outsourcing to a professional that will warrant you the most return on your investment.
