Start a Flower Bed

Starting a flower bed is a great way to introduce various colors and textures to your lawn. Plus, a flower bed can add some dimension and shade to your landscaping. When deciding which flowers to incorporate, consider types that are native since they'll require less care and attention to thrive in your climate. Additionally, look for flowering plants that are pollinator attractors to ensure a healthy ecosystem.

Create Walkways

Beautiful walkway types include brick, pallet wood, pavers, and mosaic pebbles. In addition to adding a design element to your lawn, walkways can also increase the safety measures of your outdoor space. Once the walkway has been laid, your guests will have a permanent path that's safe and level.

Add a Water Feature

If you're looking for a feature to be the focal point of your lawn, then a water feature might be the way to go. This hardscape will produce tranquil and peaceful sound effects for those relaxing nights. Some examples of water features to add include statue fountains, waterfalls, bird baths, and koi ponds. Talk to hardscaping professionals if you need guidance on which water feature would look best for your home.

Build a Patio

A patio will create a designated area to gather guests for those small get-togethers and large celebrations with family and friends. Ensure that the architectural style matches your home's exterior for design cohesion. Some materials you can choose from for a patio project include cement, pavers, and brick. Additionally, you can have some creativity with décor once the patio is complete.

Purchase Decorative Lighting

Decorative lighting can take your lawn's ambiance to the next level. In addition to the attractive appearance, decorative lighting can increase security measures and ward off intruders. Some popular lighting options include string, step, bollard, and lantern lights.
