6 Landscaping Tips For Your New Home

Spring is near, which means it is almost time to start thinking about your lawn care once again. Having a well-manicured lawn is the perfect way to embrace an inviting ambiance to guests of your home. Beautiful lawn care does not have to cost an arm and a leg, you don't even have to hire a professional company! In this article, we will share our easiest tips for landscaping around your new home. 

#1 - Make a Plan

First and foremost, you'll want to commit to a landscaping plan. Start by deciding what colors and textures of vegetation you want to have on your lawn. This will help make your shopping journey much easier when visiting your local nursery or hardware store. Plus, planning in advance can allow you to search for discounts and coupons for your desired lawn care. 

#2 - Understand Your Climate 

For those of us who do not have a green thumb, understanding your climate and what types of plants and vegetation thrive in it will help you save costs on plants while helping you make the best decisions for your landscaping plan. Before heading to pick up your lawn care essentials, do some quick research on recommendations for your specific climate. This can include researching popular plants that can adapt to temperature, sunlight, and soil. 

#3 - Learn Your Lawn

Learning your lawn is another important part of landscaping. Head outside and take some preliminary measurements of your lawn so you know exactly what to shop for so you do not overspend or under-deliver. Learning your lawn and understanding your space will help you create the most accurate plan so that you can have an outcome you're happy with. 

#4 - Create Functional Outdoor Spaces 

Landscaping does not only have to focus on gardening, planting flowers, and adding vegetation. Creating functional outdoor spaces to enjoy is also a big part of making the most of your landscaping! Investing in high-quality patio furniture, lawn chairs, fountains, and even pool accessories if your home comes with an outdoor swimming experience, is a great way to elevate your outdoor space and make it an enjoyable place for everyone. 

#5 - Conduct Regular Maintenance 

Once you have achieved your landscaping goals, plan to conduct regular maintenance to ensure that your landscaping looks pristine for months to come. With a little bit of TLC, you can avoid having to replant vegetation or invest in expensive outdoor repairs. Try to reserve one Saturday afternoon per month to dedicate to your outdoor upkeep. 

#6 - Implement Seasonal Color 

While you want to ensure that your flowers, furniture, and vegetation stay classic for years to come, don't be afraid to implement seasonal color to get festive. Experiment with different pots for your plants, seat cushions for outdoor furniture, and lawn signs to embrace the change of seasons to get festive during the holidays.
