Ideas for Beautiful Springtime Yards

Spring is here! As the weather warms and the sun shines for longer, there is more of an urge to go outside and enjoy nature. This can often be an absolute delight if you include a garden and landscaping in your yard, as you only need to look out of your window or step out of your door to enjoy it. In order to bring nature’s beauty to your yard, increasing your happiness (and also the house’s resale value), consider working with professionals to create wonderful spring landscaping. Here are some ideas to keep in mind while deciding what to ask for.

Add Color With Flowers

Springtime is represented by bright and pastel colors, often times coming from the visual palettes of flowers in bloom. The common spring flowers include tulips, daffodils and pansies, but there are plenty of choices and colors to chose from. Irises, Primroses and Hellebores come in a variety of colors. Hyacinths, Lilies of the Valley and Bleeding Hearts are delicate but lovely little touches.

Don’t Forget Shrubbery

Shrubs can be added to spring landscaping in order to create borders, outlines or a break in appearance. Of course, various types of plain green shrubs are fine, but if you’d like some flowering ones for the spring to add lovely smells, consider shrubs such as Lilacs, Forsythias and Azaleas.

Consider a Tree or Two

While trees can be a huge commitment, they can do more than just add to the appearance of your spring landscaping. They have the practical purpose of also creating shading, which can be excellent for outside activities. Blocking the sun from a window can also keep the inside cooler, reducing air conditioning costs in the summer.

There are also a variety of blooming trees if you would like them to add more color in the springtime, such as Flowering Magnolias and Redbuds. You can also begin caring for a fruit tree for harvesting later in the year, including apricots, apples, citrus and even avocado!
