Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal This Spring With These Landscaping Tips

The snow has melted and the trees are beginning to bud. Signs of spring are beginning to pop up here and there. The frigid temperatures are finally declining. Yes, spring is here and we never thought this day would come!

With the warmer weather heading our way, you’re probably thinking of a way to beautify your yard. No, not the backyard, we’re talking about the front yard this time. How is it looking these days? Need an upgrade?

To become the envy of all your neighbors, you’re going to have to up your game with your landscaping and improve your home’s curb appeal. Keep these four tips in mind when planning out your spring landscaping.

Planning a Focal Point

What’s going to catch the eye of those passing by your home? Is it going to be the rows of lovely flowers that line your front path to your front door? The well-maintained trees and shrubbery that surround a garden feature?

Before you do any work on your property, considering what the main focal point of your yard will be. Remember, you want to go simple — you don’t want all the other items in your landscape design to deter from what you want people to see.

Don’t Forget About Your Home

Don’t hide your house; use it as inspiration! For example, if your house is a farmhouse, try to match the feeling with a cottage-inspired landscape. Or, if you have a more modern design, consider a more minimalist approach to your yard.

You’ll also want to play with the colors. If your home is a neutral color or uses a natural stone, try to add colorful plants to make the yard really pop! If your home has a lot of bright colors, try sticking with neutral colors.

Be Mindful of the Seasons

We all know how everything goes dormant in the wintertime. With that in mind, you’re going to want to choose natural elements and materials that will work all year round.

Work With What You Have

Finally, you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get an attractive landscape. In fact, you can work with what you currently have. A flower bed here, a nice shrub there, and you’ll be amazed at the difference you can make to your yard.

And if you need help, why don’t you give us a call? We can improve your home’s curb appeal in no time flat. Happy spring!
