If you want to spruce up your landscape, there is no better time than the season of spring. With garden centers overflowing with any kind of vegetation and flowers you want; you will have plenty to choose from to make your yard come to life. Visiting a garden center is a great place to find inspiration for creating a landscape that you can pass on to your landscape designer. 

Get familiar with groundcover 

One of the easiest ways to spruce up your landscape is to use various types of groundcover. These plants are hardy, grow fast, and can cover nearly any spots in your yard that are unsightly. Groundcover plants are perennials and require little to no maintenance to survive and thrive.

Do something different

If your landscape primarily consists of greenery, swap the greenery for lush beds of flowers. If you have only had flowers, swap them for greenery. Use pavers to turn a secluded grassy spot in the yard into a mini retreat area complete with a small pavilion or pergola to help define the area.

Add a small pond

You do not need a large source of water for it to make an impact on the beauty of your landscape. Small ponds can become focal points in a landscape design. Make sure to add a bench next to the pond to add height and interest to the setting.

Go vertical to enhance your design

Trellises, arbors, and small rock walls are all vertical elements in landscaping that create a pleasing look. Trellises and arbors are attractive near gardens or walkways and give climbing plants a place to grow. Design a rock wall and plant flowers in front of it to enhance the beauty of the natural stone.

Add a little charm

Fountains, statues, and birdbaths are all hardscaping elements that can be used as finishing touches in landscape design. If an area lacks interest, fountains, and statues can be added to put focus on the area. They not only look charming, but they also add the important element of height to your landscape.

Even little changes can make a big difference when it comes to landscape design. Swapping out flowers for greenery, adding a pond, and creating pathways with simple pavers will make a big impact. Adding a few simple landscape elements this spring is an easy way to spruce up your landscape to enjoy in the coming months.
