Add Color and Life to Your Outdoor Space with Plantings in the Rochester Hills and Birmingham, MI Areas
Hiring a landscaping expert to create a welcoming vibe in your outdoor space may be on your to-do list this summer. One way to bring life and a cheerful atmosphere to your yard is to add fresh plantings. Here are some ideal ways to establish a more colorful appearance to your Rochester Hills and Birmingham, MI, area property:
Add Planters Around Your Property
Adding planters filled with colorful blooms and vibrant greenery to your property will bring a natural vibe to the space. Masonry planters on your front porch could provide a cheerful greeting for friends and family members that stop by. Planters placed around your side yard patio and backyard patio walkways will create a lovely visual for all who walk along the path. You can create a uniform look by using all the same planters throughout your yard or mix it up in the style category by using different planters around the various areas of your landscape.
Include Raised Garden Beds
Raised garden beds create a lovely visual and can turn a bland lawn into a horticultural showpiece. Include beautiful blooms such as salvia, zinnias, and petunias in the raised gardens and have the landscaping expert add some greenery in between the flowers for an overall exquisite appearance. Raised garden beds can be built on top of retaining walls and around other masonry features, such as paver patios and outdoor kitchen areas. And it’s not just greenery and flowers you can add to raised garden beds: If you want to grow vegetables in your yard, ask the landscaping experts what types of vegetables will thrive in the location.
Make Your Driveway Entrance a Focal Point
If you want to provide a cheerful greeting for people as soon as they turn into your driveway, add flowers to this area of your property. You can plant flowers in garden beds on top of entryway walls or include small garden areas on either side of the driveway entrance. You can also add creeping vines to the tops of retaining walls and pillars separating your property from the road which will intermingle with the masonry structure to give it a natural look. For a superior focal point, ask the landscaping company to build gardens along the length of the driveway for a flowery visual that guides your guests from the property entrance to your door.
Create a Relaxing Vibe Around Your Patios
Adding plantings around your paver patios will create a colorful scenery and calming space. Sit on your back patio early in the morning as you sip coffee and take in the invigorating sights and scents of summer flowers as they bloom throughout your yard. If you entertain often, adding plantings to your patio areas will make these spots ideal places to host cocktail parties and family gatherings. When you add plantings to your patio areas, you’ll also likely invite pollinators to visit your flowers which will be a welcome visual and good for the environment as well. Butterfly weed and New England asters are two types of pollinator-friendly plants that add a colorful look to your garden and will be a popular visitation spot for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
