    How to Add Spring Color Into your Landscape Design

    By Gulfstream Homes | Custom Homes, Homes, Uncategorized | Comments are Closed | 25 April, 2018 | 0

    Spring is here and it may be about time to add a pop of color to your yard or patio. With the spring season comes beautiful spring weather, perfect for entertaining guests outside. But no matter what the season might be, adding a little something extra to your yard can be easy if you have a vision in mind. Let’s go over a few simple ideas that will brighten up your landscape in no time.

    Prepping the Space

    Your lawn deserves a little TLC. Clean up your yard by raking if needed, pulling up old weeds, getting rid of fallen palm fronds and assessing your soil. Toss old or moldy patio furniture and pool toys. Next, start to think about what flowers will bloom best during the spring season and will tolerate our steamy SWFL climate:

    • Egyptian Star Flowers also known as Pentas
    • Begonias
    • Periwinkles
    • Rain Lilies

    Of course, there are more flowers than listed that bloom during the spring but any of the flowers and plants listed above will add the right amount of color. After deciding which flowers you want, figure out where you would like to plant them. What would go best and where? Whether in the front yard, back yard or both, the flowers’ spring bloom will be sure to liven up the space.

    How about those bulbs?

    If you have landscape lighting, check to see if you need to replace any bulbs. If you don’t have outdoor lighting, maybe consider getting some string lights or lanterns. Stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s have the perfect assortment of landscape lighting. Some other great outdoor light fixtures are:

    • Path lights
    • Spot lights
    • Deck lights
    • Low voltage or solar lights

    Get creative with your lighting. Hang them above a grotto if you have one or line the deck of your pool area. With path lights, you can set them up to guide people to your front door or outside to the patio area. Deck lights can be used to give that area a brighter look so when you host a party, it won’t actually feel like you’re in the dark.

    Patio Furniture and Décor

    Comfortable and homey patio furniture is all the rage. People want to feel as comfortable sitting outside as they do inside. Now, many home furniture and decoration stores such as Home Goods, Pier 1 and Target have a wide variety of options for outdoor furniture. If you want to make your backyard feel comfortable while helping it stand out, look into these:

    • Sectionals
    • Chairs & ottomans
    • Colorful accent tables
    • Chaise lounges and hammocks

    Most outdoor furniture has customizable cushions and pillows. If your house or backyard has a theme, find the colors to match or start over and try something new. Online home stores such as Wayfair and Overstock are great places to look for furniture and décor. 

    If you’re looking to revamp your landscape, now is the time to do it. Not everyone was born with a green thumb so if you’re looking to make some changes to the outside of your house, you could always hire a landscape design service.
