The holiday season is all about spending time with family and friends and it’s about feasting and merriment. However, every homeowner also wants their home to be ready for all the festivities. This involves cleaning all the indoor and outdoor areas of the home. One of the other things you need to do is spruce-up the yard spaces.
The front yard is one of the first things anyone notices when they approach your home and it’s a crucial aspect of your property’s curb appeal. Also, the backyard becomes the perfect entertainment spot and you need to make sure its ship-shape as well.
So, when you spend time cleaning and decorating the indoor areas of your home, it’s a good idea to do the same for the outdoor areas too. The experts at DNS Landscaping have put together some information that can help set you in the right direction.
Ideas to Spruce-Up your Yard
Here are some straightforward yet effective ways to add a special touch to your yard during the holiday season:
- Simple Decorations and Greenery. Berries, boughs, and branches gathered from different areas of the yard or neighboring landscape can be used to create a superb backdrop in the yard. You can decorate your roofline and doorways with different types of evergreens. Wire them all together and add a distinctive look to the property. They would be able to withstand the colder weather for months, without deteriorating in any way.
- Add Interest to Your Window Boxes And Container Gardens. You can use these elements to create stunning look in the yard. Deck the planter boxes with magnolia leaves, greens, pinecones, Birchwood and berries etc. Twigs and other natural additions can create an interesting look as well. The window boxes can be seen from outdoors and indoors and enhance the festive look.
- Lighting is Important. No matter how well you decorate and spruce-up your yard, it can stand out and look superb after dark only when you have the right kind of lighting. You can string fairy lights along tall branches, illuminate walkways and pathways. Light up steps and patio and other alfresco spaces and you will have nothing less than a wonderland to entertain in. Place spotlights at strategic locations to highlight the exterior architectural elements of your home.
- Natural Garlands. Natural garlands are the perfect way to add warmth and fun to your outdoor spaces. These elements are a great way to add seasonal décor to your home. Drape natural garlands around doorways, over railings and porches. Classic green looks amazing but you can also include some color in it if you like.
As you can see, there are many different ways to add some cheer to your garden décor during the holiday season. Hire professional landscapers to spruce-up your plantings and lawns as well.
