The Advantages Of Creative Landscape Design Principles

By Kenya England


Your front lawn plays a critical function in the overall look and feel of your house. The front yard makes a huge impression on your visitors and can make or break the appearance of your home. Highlight the entryway to your home with a creative landscape design that provides a welcoming feel at your entrance porch.

Introduce a clear walkway to the front door from the street or driveway to lead visitors to your home effortlessly. Also, you can pave the walkway with bricks or rustic stones depending on your style. A rectilinear path adds visual interest and creates suspense in the garden. Beautiful shrubs and fragrant herbs can accentuate the front door if they puncture the lawn on strategic points juxtaposed in your favorite style.

If you have an entrance porch, include a deck and some furniture where you can entertain your guests. A barbecue is a great addition especially if you want to extend the dining area to this space. Numerous houses have trellises or pergolas near the entrance, making an ideal backdrop for a larger fountain, or a lattice studded with evergreen climbers.

Choose the best place to grow your plants by considering their resilience against the afternoon sun. Introduce plants that are diverse in shape, color, and height near the entrance porch. Create a garden bed that surrounds your house and use rectilinear shapes to define the flower bed. You can create a circular garden border to soften the straight lines of your walls or introduce a row of pots that resemble the wine barrels.

Introduce a slope on either side of the house to keep the menacing floods at bay. Avoid planting trees haphazardly in the yard and include some colorful perennials in your border. If you wish to add more charm and color to the lawn, introduce showy beds of low-growing flowers like geraniums in a rectilinear shape. Also, decide whether you want a decorative shrub, a miniature tree or a bed of showy perennials.

Huge plantings can be a lot more than a row of similar shrubs in front of your house. A good planting design should take maintenance into account to avoid overgrown shrubs that look ugly. If your land is flat, think about creating some slopes to help in the flow of runoff. While landscaping the area around the foundation, steer clear of large trees that cast too much shade or huge shrubs that can screen the entrance from view.

A rich, green lawn is the ideal addition to any residential garden. A flourishing yard will provide a smooth carpet of grass for your family to enjoy. Whether your kids love to run barefoot through the yard, or you prefer to unwind in the pergola on a warm summer night, an open lawn is indispensable in any garden. Planting a new lawn is tedious, so plan carefully for a garden that will thrive for several years to come.

Examining the vital attributes of Danvers, MA trees such as the size, shape, color of the flowers will help you recognize the species and choose your favorite varieties. For example, you can fall in love by looking at the red tulip-like flowers of a flamboyant tree. Fortunately, a landscape architect can identify the tree and estimate the canopy size to avoid the pitfalls of planting an enormous tree near the house.
