Landscaping for All Seasons: Tips for Year-Round Curb Appeal

 

Whether you are preparing to sell or simply looking to reinvigorate the outside of your home, there are many budget-friendly ways to boost your home’s curb appeal. From symmetry, color, lighting, and many other aspects of your landscape, Chris James Landscaping can help. As a trusted and top landscaping company, we can provide you with everything you need for year-round curb appeal. 

Know Your Season And Your Region

The beginning step to creating your year-round garden is to decide on plants that are appropriate for your region. This means plants that will thrive where you live. Gardeners in the South can easily accomplish great splashes of color throughout the year. Those living in the Northern states can still achieve color and interest by choosing plants with intriguing foliage and other features. 

By understanding the species that do best in your region, you will better understand when you can expect their display to be greatest. This ensures that your garden remains full of life and vibrant year-round. Choosing two at least types of plants that will flower together during a season is also beneficial when trying to create balance. 

Seasonal Combinations And Containers

Now that you have your year-round garden planned, let’s talk containers. Containers are a good option for gardeners who live in a cooler region. Container gardens are also beneficial for anyone who has limited space or is attempting to liven up a space such as a patio. Containers in unique shapes and colors also help add appeal along with the plants and flowers that grow inside them. 

Containers can also be a good way for you to mix spring-blooming bulbs with some of your summer and fall bloomers. This helps keep colors blooming and vibrant without a lot of repotting and planning. If you do, however, feel the need to change up your plants, containers are an easy and quick option for that, too. 

Seasonal Colors And Decor

With each new season, there come colors and decor that highlight that particular time of year. Other areas of your home that can be improved upon for an increase in curb appeal can include:

  • Your Home’s Front Door
  • Your Main Walkway
  • Outside Lighting
  • Seating Areas
  • Fencing
  • And Seasonal Decor

Curb appeal is what makes your home intriguing and inviting to those who pass by and those who visit. The time and care that you invest into your home are well worth it. Whether you are looking to sell or simply want to spruce it up for yourself, these simple tips are well worth the effort.
