Backyard waterfall

If you’re longing for the soothing appeal of falling water, add a dramatic accent to your backyard landscape. It is a great way to create shade and divide an outer space. A water feature doesn’t need to be big, one can make a garden pond pot filled with aquatic plants and water will mostly take care of itself.

Garden walls

Landscapin­g walls add dimension and definition to your outdoor living spaces. To make a green wall, moss, succulents, small edibles and small plants are inserted into a wall that holds the plants or pots and allows water to move down the wall.

Pet Landscapin­g

You can have a beautiful yard and all the furry and feathered friends you want. Remember to include pet-friendly plants in your landscapin­g design as some plants are toxic. One thing that should be kept in mind is keeping the mud out, gravel patios with crushed rock will keep mud down. Synthetic lawns can be a great choice when you’re looking to keep the lush green look.

Succulent gardens

Perfect for an outdoor spot in any season of the year is a succulent design centered on an enchanting floral presentati­on. It becomes the perfect stage for many shapes, sizes, and species of plants readily found in one place.

Outdoor seating for backyards

Warm weather calls for outdoor entertaini­ng for all kinds, from midsummer night parties to weekday dinners. A series of teak tables and benches can provide room for a grand gathering.

To add, one can have stone pathways and beautiful mosaic designs that are refreshing­ly cool underfoot in hot climates.
