Yard Landscaping Ideas

English cottage gardens are charming and whimsical. They feature a mix of flowers, fruits, and veggies in a dense, hodgepodge style. 

Opt for a variety of flora but keep the number of plants per type low. Lavender, daisies, trailing vines, boxwood, and shrubs all work well. 

Choose a combination of perennials and plants that thrive in different seasons. 

Water features add elegance and tranquility to any backyard. 

Consider a fountain, birdbath, or even a small tabletop water feature. 

The gentle splash of water can create a relaxing ambiance. 

Diversify seating options in your yard: dining chairs, loungers, reading nooks, etc. 

Strategically place furniture to capture sunlight or shade.

 Add outdoor pillows or cushions for comfort. 

Sometimes less is more. 

Avoid clutter by simplifying your landscaping. 

Highlight your yard’s natural beauty and flow. 

Consider maintenance when adding elements to your outdoor space. 

Design your yard to serve multiple purposes. For example, create a cozy seating area that can also function as an outdoor dining spot. 

Incorporate features like fire pits, pergolas, or built-in benches that enhance both aesthetics and functionality 

If your yard has varying elevations, consider adding a retaining wall.

Retaining walls can create terraced spaces for planting flowers, herbs, or even small shrubs. 

Choose materials that complement your home’s style and landscape
