When the home landscaping in Boulder, CO is decent but lacking in anything that makes the space stand out, there is the option of adding a few elements to spice things up a bit. Many people are surprised at how just a few additions can make such a difference, without having to redo the landscaping completely.
Here are some ideas that are worth considering.
New Borders for the Flower Beds: If part of the Landscaping in Boulder, CO includes flower beds or islands, why not jazz the spaces up with the addition of some new type of border? For example, perhaps the current borders are nothing more than simple red bricks. To add some color and texture, consider replacing them with stones or possibly borders that are shaped like smaller versions of a picket fence. There is even the option of using monkey grass for the border as a way to add another element of green to the space.
Stepping Stones: Creating some intentional paths through a backyard garden will certainly help to increase the visual appeal of the landscaping. Take the time to map out routes that are taken to get to the storeroom, the garage, or some area of the yard where people like to sit. Use decorative stones that are spaced evenly and help to create a direct line to those places. The owner can choose to go with stones that are all the same color, or use different colored stones to create a mosaic effect.
Add a Pergola: The addition of a pergola to some area in the yard instantly creates a space that is ideal for enjoying quiet conversations or settling in to enjoy a book. While some pergola plans can be complicated, there are vinyl sets that can be assembled with ease. All the homeowner really needs is a level area for the structure, some decorative plants to plant around the sides, and possibly some stepping stones to create a path to the pergola.
There are all sorts of ways to build on what is already going on in the yard. Have a professional come by and make some suggestions. With just a change or two, the yard will take on a whole new look and feel, without the need to rip out everything and start from scratch.
