When to Consider Big Landscaping Changes
It is nice to consider landscaping changes when you want a new decorating style, a different landscaping trend or bolder colors adorning your yard or garden. Increased comfort, convenience and practicality are also solid reasons to make a change. Regardless of your reasons, spring and fall are typically the preferred seasons for landscape makeovers, since the weather is milder during these seasons.
If you are considering big landscaping changes, you can start with edible gardening. Growing your own food (fresh fruits and vegetables) involves using pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. It also entails raised beds for drainage. Therefore, a lot of research has to be done before putting this plan into action.
Nature-scaping and rewilding are a new trend that can make you want to consider big landscaping changes. This new trend involves: loose garden design that looks natural, sheltering shrubs and feeders that attract pollinators.
Other new landscaping designs include drought-tolerant plants, stone pathways and recycling. The latter entails eco-friendliness and reduction of carbon footprint or water usage.
Other features to consider as landscaping changes are: outdoor furniture, decorative accessories, native or tropical plants (bamboos, hibiscus, yuccas, ferns, caladiums, canna lilies), vibrant colors (purple, red, lime, pink, orange), dark foliage plants that provide a pleasing contrast, added ambiance with tall shrubs, fire pits, soothing, lush planting, cozy spots, balcony gardens, stackable planting and artificial turfs. When talking with real estate agents in my area for my home value, they say that a nicely landscaped home really adds to the value and is one of the check marks that clients look for in a purchase.
